Guelph police have arrested a 44-year-old Kitchener man in connection with the death of his mother over four years ago.

Lewis was 61 years old when she died, but her cause of death has never been made public.
On Thursday, police arrested her son, Larry Kemp and charged him with second-degree murder.
“Our officers have been unrelenting in their investigation,” said Insp. Cate Welsh.
Kemp made a brief appearance at the Ontario Court of Justice on Friday morning, but did not speak. He was wearing a dark coat and a white-collared shirt.
There was a publication ban put in place on any evidence presented.

Earlier this month, Guelph police announced they had received new information about Lewis’ death, but Welsh would not go into details on what investigators had.
“What I can tell you is our investigation for the past four years had led up to and accumulated evidence that has led up to this arrest,” she said.
Kemp will make another court appearance in December.
