RCMP are digging through rubble at a property in Winnipeg's North End where a home burned last month, as they investigate the homicide of a 27-year-old father whose remains were found in Portage la Prairie. On Tuesday, police were investigating at an address on Alfred Avenue between Salter and Aikins streets, in the William Whyte neighbourhood, which they described as a location of interest. He wouldn't say what evidence RCMP are looking for or why investigators are focused on the wreckage of the house, but did say RCMP believe the fire there was the result of arson. RCMP major crime and forensic identification units plan continue investigating on Alfred Avenue for the next three days, an RCMP news release said. Alfred Avenue, between Salter and Aikins streets, will be closed to traffic except for local residents during that time.
