A man has been arrested over the alleged murder of a man in Stockton last year.
A 22-year-old man was arrested at Stockton on Wednesday morning, in relation to the death of Graham Cameron in a suspicious unit fire.
Emergency services were called to the Fullerton Street address last July, where the 54-year-old’s body was discovered after the blaze was put out.
The fire was intensified by strong winds and almost completely destroyed the home.
Police will allege in court that Mr Cameron was stabbed to death, and the fire was deliberately lit to cover up the killing and evidence.
Police also believe other people could be involved, whether directly or indirectly, in assisting the suspect or concealing evidence.
The 22-year-old was known to Mr Cameron as a casual acquaintance.
He is likely to be charged on Wednesday.
