York Regional Police say a 36-year-old woman has been charged with second-degree murder after a man’s body was found in an Aurora house fire on Saturday.
Police said emergency crews were called to a home on Edward Street, near Yonge Street and Wellington Street East, just before 1 a.m.
Investigators said the house was fully engulfed by the time police and firefighters arrived.
After the blaze was extinguished more than an hour later, officers said a man’s body was found.
Police said the coroner determined the man’s death was suspicious.
The victim’s identity won’t be confirmed until a post-mortem examination is conducted, investigators said.
On Saturday, officers said Aurora resident Melissa Galea was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
Meanwhile, anyone with information was asked to call police at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 7865 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
