WINNIPEG – Two men have been arrested and charged in relation to an arson at a Falcon Lake cottage six years ago.
Aaron Sodomiak and Edmon Rioux, both 26-year-old Winnipeg men, are charged with arson and three counts of break and enter.
In 2007, RCMP and local fire crews were dispatched to a cottage fire on Block 3 on the north shore of Falcon Lake to find nothing but the ashes of a $270,000 cabin.

At the time, RCMP say they evaluated the area and discovered “the cottage had been broken into, items had been removed and the fire was deliberately set.”
RCMP also say after canvassing the area they learned five neighbouring cottages either showed signs of attempted break-in or had been broken into.
While it took six years, RCMP finally arrested and laid charges against the two men, who were 20 at the time of the fire.
RCMP’s “D” Division Major Crime Services and the RCMP Winnipeg Forensic Identification Section helped solve the crime.
