Two youths have been charged with manslaughter and arson after a man died in a house fire in central Alberta. RCMP say they responded to the fire in Wetaskiwin, a city south of Edmonton, in December.

The body of 67-year-old Donald Robert was found inside the home and officers deemed his death suspicious.

They say a witness reported seeing someone running away from the home with their clothing on fire.

RCMP say a girl and a boy were arrested Wednesday. They can't be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
