A 37-year-old woman has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 70-year-old man in central Edmonton in late 2022.

Melissa Norris was arrested last Thursday in connection to the death of Ronald Bell. She was also charged with arson and indignity to a body.

Bell was found dead in a home in the area of 107 Avenue and 106 Street on Jan. 1, 2023.

A 43-year-old man, Donn Austin Gauthier, was also charged with first-degree murder last July in connection to Bell's death.

Bell's cause of death is still being withheld for "investigative reasons," Edmonton police said.
