Murder charge

A man has been charged with murder, arson and a number of historic charges in relation to a Glenfield house fire that killed a woman.

On June 26, the body of Jacqueline Blackbourn, 43, was found in her home on View Rd.

Police yesterday arrested a 28-year-old man, who appeared in the North Shore District Court charged with murder and arson.

The judge suppressed the man's name and remanded him in custody until later this month.
