Earlier on the day of the fire police received a report of an assault at the same location. Hours later they returned to the home that was on fire and fully involved. At the time police were not able to locate the female who had earlier been assaulted.
Officers arrested Earl Moar shortly after the fire and charged him with aggravated assault, arson with disregard for human life as well as a number of other offences.
On March 27, 2018, investigators charged Moar with manslaughter. Moar was still in custody as a result of the other charges in the case.
