Arson Attack Targets Home of Montreal Landlord Linked to Fatal Fires

A vehicle was set ablaze at the residence of Émile Benamor, owner of buildings involved in deadly fires, amid ongoing criminal investigations.

Montreal police are investigating a deliberate car fire at Émile Benamor's home in Dorval, Quebec, early Thursday morning.
Benamor owns two Old Montreal buildings where two separate fires have claimed nine lives over the past 19 months.
This incident marks the second criminal attack involving Benamor's properties this month, following a shooting at his Old Montreal office.
Police found a gas can next to the burned vehicle, suggesting the use of an accelerant, but no injuries or further property damage were reported.
Two men have been charged with second-degree murder in connection to the most recent fatal fire on October 4, which killed a mother and daughter.
