The trial for the third murder suspect in the deadly Bruce Avenue townhouse fire that killed three people in 2021 is set to begin Monday.

Liam Stinson was 25 years old when he was charged with three counts of being party to first-degree murder, being a party to an attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and being a part to arson with disregard to human life.

Fire crews were called to the housing complex formerly known as Ryan Heights at 4:45 a.m. April 11, 2021, and the blaze was later deemed an arson.

Three of the unit's occupants – Jamie-Lynn Lori-Lee Rose, Jasmine Marie-Claire Somers and Guy Armand Henri – died in the fire and a fourth person was badly injured but was able to escape by jumping out of a second-story window.

Stinson is the last of five suspects to be tried in the case.

Two men and are currently serving sentences after pleading guilty to three counts of manslaughter and one count of arson causing bodily harm.
