The victim who died in hospital after being set on fire in the east end of the city Tuesday has been identified as 29-year-old Jonathan Lawrence Graham, of London, Ont.
London police also said Thursday that in regards to the victim’s death, “charges in this matter have been upgraded.”
Bradley Joudrey, 32, of London, is charged with first-degree murder and two impaired driving-related offences.
On Tuesday, at around 2:20 a.m., police received a 911 call about a man who was on fire near Admiral Drive and Trafalgar Street.
Investigators revealed that the suspect and victim were known to each other and descriptions of a suspect and suspect vehicle were provided to police.
At around 3 a.m., a man was arrested in the 1800-block radius of Royal Crescent for a separate impaired driving-related incident when officers determined that the driver was also linked to the assault from earlier that morning.
Joudrey is scheduled to appear in a London court on Friday.
