The tragic couple were rushed to hospital by paramedics.
Peter passed away the following day, while Sheila sadly died on July 17.
A joint investigation between Merseyside Police and Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service was initially carried out.
The probe determined an accelerant was used to start the fire maliciously.
It is believed to have been carried out by a third party, the police force added.
Cops are still urging anyone with information to come forward in a renewed appeal today.
A Merseyside Police spokesperson said: “Their families have today released these photos of the couple
“We are still in the early stages of the investigation and part of our initial inquiries will be to establish why the fire was started at their house.
“We are appealing for anyone with information to come forward, particularly if you live in the area of South John Street and recall seeing or hearing anything suspicious at around the time of the incident.
