Charges have been approved against a man in relation to a fatal explosion and fire at a Spruceland neighbourhood home.
Harjinder John Singh Berar faces one count each of intending to cause an explosion resulting in harm and making or possessing explosives from the Oct. 12, 2019 incident at the corner of Ahbau Street and Chilako Avenue.
One man and a dog were killed while three other men survived.
RCMP have said witness and video evidence show the occupants were handling large quantities of gasoline at the time of the fire.
The home was well known to police and has been the subject of investigations in the past.
Berar has been identified as the owner of the home which was destroyed in the fire and has since been torn down by the City.
In February 2016, he was sentenced to a further 15 months in jail for dealing drugs out of the home.
