Champagne, 40, was found seriously injured inside an apartment that had been set on fire in Rougemont, Que., 50-kilometres east of Montreal.

Champagne died in hospital a short time later while Guertin had also sustained significant injuries and was hospitalized.

Provincial police say they were initially unable to question Guertin for a few weeks due to his injuries.

Guertin will appear in court in St-Hyacinthe, Que. on Wednesday.
