WATCH ABOVE: Police are asking for Edmontonians' help as they continue to investigate a fire last summer - which we now know claimed the lives of two women. Morgan Black has the details.

Nearly seven months after a fire broke out at an abandoned home in central Edmonton, police have released the images of two persons of interest investigators would like to speak with.

Emergency crews were called to a fire at a vacant property in the area of 96 Street and 105A Avenue at about 9 a.m. on June 12, 2024.

Firefighters found two people at the scene who had sustained life-threatening injuries. Both victims were taken to hospital, where they later died of their injuries.

The fire was deemed suspicious.

Photos of the two persons of interest can be viewed in the gallery below. Police released the images to the public on Thursday.

“We are confident that a member of the public will be able to assist us with identifying one or both of these males so we can talk to them about any information they might have about what happened,” said acting Det. Mike Rott of the Edmonton Police Service’s investigative response team.
