Two people are dead after what police say is a suspicious house fire in Mississauga early Saturday morning.
The fire broke out shortly after 1 a.m. at a duplex at Genovese Place and Armando Avenue — near Mavis Road.
Mississauga firefighters pulled two victims from the blaze, a man and a woman. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators believe the blaze started in the basement of the home.
“The Ontario Fire Marshals Office has determined the fire to be suspicious; however, it is too early in the investigation to provide details on the exact circumstances surrounding the cause of the fire,” Peel police said in a statement late Saturday, adding that the homicide squad has taken over the investigation.
