Harrison Brown, 27, has been charged with two counts of first-degree mur- der and one count of arson in the deaths of Krystyna and Andrzej Rerak. Brown was arrested without incident on Friday (Mar. 26) and is currently in custody. On Feb. 17, Halton police responded to an early- morning call at a home on Hidden Lake Trail. Upon ar- rival, police found the home fully engulfed in flames. The remains of two peo- ple were discovered and lat- er identified as Krystyna and Andrzej, a manager at The Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company of Can- ada. By Feb. 19, the Ontario Fire Marshal's investiga- tion was completed and the office turned over the inves- tigation to police. Halton police confirmed the deaths of the couple had been deemed suspicious and post-mortem examina- tions were carried out at the Centre of Forensic Sciences. "We know this incident shook area residents and al- lowed fear to creep into the community," Det. Sgt. Tre- vor Bradley, with the HRPS homicide unit, said. "I want to assure residents that this was not a random incident." According to police, the accused and one of the de- ceased were known to each other and had a business re- lationship. The charges have not yet been proven in court. CRIME ARREST MADE IN DOUBLE HOMICIDE BRYAN MYERS bmyers@metroland.com Krystyna and Andrzej Rerak were killed in a fire at their home in February.
