TERREBONNE, Que. — A 44-year-old Quebec man is facing a murder charge in connection with a fatal seniors’ home fire that left a 94-year-old woman dead last month.
Quebec provincial police say Alain Landais was arrested at his home in Terrebonne on Thursday and charged on Friday.
He faces one count of second-degree murder and one count of arson.
Marcelle Magnan died after the fire broke out on July 8 at the Oasis seniors’ residence in Terrebonne, just north of Montreal.
