EDMONTON — Police have ruled that a woman’s death in an explosion and fire at an Edmonton seniors complex was a homicide.

Anna Fedorio, who was 83, was one of two people who died in the blaze at the Bethany Seniors Home in August.

Police say an investigation has determined that the other senior who was killed was responsible for the fire.

They say Ken Kopiak, who was 64, lit his vehicle on fire in the parking area.

He then returned to his suite and spread gasoline throughout the unit.
