Homicide investigators say a murder charge has been laid in the killing of a 57-year-old man in Surrey, B.C., last week.
Firefighters found Robb Memory dead at a home on 191 Street near 68 Avenue on Sunday.
Mounties were called to the scene, where they arrested a 42-year-old man.
On Friday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said Memory had died days earlier, on Aug. 24, from “injuries consistent with a homicide.”

Surrey resident Paul Martin, 42, has now been charged with second-degree murder, and remains in custody, IHIT said.
“Robb was a caring and generous person. The family appreciates the hard work and dedication of IHIT,” Robb’s father, Cecil Memory said in a statement.
IHIT says anyone affected by the death can make use of the Surrey RCMP’s Victim Services Unit.
