WETASKIWIN – Two youths have been charged with manslaughter and arson after a man died in a house fire in central Alberta.
RCMP say they responded to the fire in Wetaskiwin, a city south of Edmonton, in December.
The body of 67-year-old Donald Robert was found inside the home and officers deemed his death suspicious.
They say a witness reported seeing someone running away from the home with their clothing on fire.
RCMP say a girl and a boy were arrested Wednesday.
They can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
