Homicide investigation launched after house fire in Richmond Hill leaves 11-year-old girl dead
September 3, 2025
A suspected arson at a home in Richmond Hill, Ont., that left an 11-year-old girl dead and four others critically injured is now being investigated as a homicide, York Region police said Wednesday.
Police said they were called to the scene on Skywood Drive just before 3 a.m. on Monday after a report of a house fire. Four unconscious residents were found inside the home while a fifth was found outside, and all of them were taken to hospital in critical condition.
André Thibault thought he had left his past behind him. After he was caught carrying cocaine back in 1999, Mr. Thibault pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and spent 16 months in jail. After his release, he stayed out of trouble. He drove tow trucks for the next two decades, finding refuge in an industry that gave him a stable life, allowing him to support his son and aging mother, who live with him in his Ottawa home.
