A suspect who was wanted for the death of a senior found by firefighters inside a home in north Edmonton has been arrested.
Fred Kolybaba, 69, was found dead inside a house at 132nd Street and 133rd Avenue in the Wellington neighbourhood at 12:45 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 1.
Police were called in and an autopsy was conducted on Sept. 7, but the cause and manner of death were initially not released for investigative reasons.
Kolybaba’s death was later ruled a homicide but five months later, the cause of death is still not being released.
On Feb. 7, police said Nicholas Alexander Brashko, 44, was wanted for murder, arson and indignity to a body. Police asked for the public’s assistance in locating him.
In an update on Monday morning, police said Brashko was arrested on Sunday as a result of public tips.
