Two men, aged 18 and 20, were arrested on Friday in connection with an Old Montreal fire last week that claimed the lives of a mother and daughter from France, police said.
Cmdr. Jean-Sébastien Caron said the 20-year-old is suspected of throwing an incendiary device into the building on Oct. 4, starting a fire that quickly spread from the ground floor to the upper two levels where there was a hostel. Léonor Geraudie, 43, and her seven-year-old daughter Vérane Reynaud Geraudie died in the blaze.
