A 36-year-old woman has been charged with second-degree murder after a body was found inside an Aurora house following a fire early Saturday, York Regional Police said.

Just before 1 a.m. on Saturday, police and Central York Fire Services were called to a house on Edward St. When they arrived, they found the house “fully engulfed” in flames, police said in a news release Sunday.

Shortly after 2 a.m., firefighters had knocked down the fire and were able to enter the home, where they found a body, believed to be that of a man.

The coroner deemed the circumstances of the death to be suspicious.

On Saturday, Melissa Galea, of Aurora, was arrested. Police say Galea had been held in custody and was scheduled to appear in the Ontario Court of Justice in Newmarket on Sunday.

The identity of the victim will not be confirmed until a “post mortem has been completed,” said police.

Anyone with information is asked to contact York Regional Police’s homicide unit at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 7865, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
