Police probe possible arson at Brossard pizzeria

Police are investigating after evidence suggested a fire at a Brossard pizzeria may have been deliberately set. Longueuil police (SPAL) are investigating a suspicious fire at a pizzeria in Brossard. Police say officers were called around 6:30 a.m. Saturday to assist the Longueuil fire department at 5991 Avenue Auteuil, where a restaurant was on fire. Firefighters arrived to find the building empty, and the blaze was quickly brought under control. About 30 firefighters were involved in the operation. The fire department estimates damages at around $100,000. According to authorities, the investigation was handed over to the SPAL after evidence suggested the fire may have been deliberately set. No injuries were reported, and the fire did not spread to neighbouring buildings. No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.

Prosecutors stay charge for man convicted in 1987 killing, says Innocence Canada

A courtroom at the Edmonton Law Courts building in Edmonton on Friday, June 28, 2019. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jason Franson The group representing an Alberta man who spent decades in prison for the death of an Edmonton woman says his charge has been stayed. Innocence Canada says Roy Allan Sobotiak was to appear in court Friday to set a date for his new trial, but says the Crown Prosecution Service stayed his second-degree murder charge. Lawyer James Lockyer says the group was 'delighted' by the news and believes this is the longest a wrongly convicted person has spent in prison in Canada. Sobotiak was granted bail earlier this year for his 1991 life sentence in the 1987 murder of Susan Kaminsky after former federal justice minister Arif Virani ordered a new trial due to what he called a likely 'miscarriage of justice.' Lawyers for Alberta Justice had requested a judicial review, arguing that Virani provided no reasoning as to why a new trial was warranted. A spokesperson for the provincial government did not immediately return a request for comment. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 2, 2025. Aaron Sousa, The Canadian Press
