A 69-year-old Lloydminster man has been charged with murder for his connection to a house fire earlier this year which left a 69-year-old woman dead.
RCMP say the charge is in relation to a Jan. 24 house fire in Lloydminster which claimed the life of Irene May Brown, 69.
Police say months of investigation into the fire provided them with enough grounds to make an arrest against Nelson Beverly Brown, 69, and proceed with a first degree murder charge.
Brown is in police custody and is scheduled to appear in Saskatchewan Provincial Court in Lloydminster on April 12 at 10 a.m.
RCMP ask anyone with information about the incident to call them at 306-825-6350 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
