Background
At approximately 5:26 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2020, EPS Northwest Division officers and Edmonton Fire Rescue responded to the report of a dispute and a fire at a residence in the area of 121 Avenue and 102 Street.
It was reported to police that a male entered a residence in the area and assaulted two females. He then reportedly lit the house on fire and fled the area on foot.
The two females, aged 31 and 72, were able to escape the home. EMS then treated and transported them to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Both complainants have since been released from hospital.
Investigators identified the suspect male as Jade Boskoyous, 33, and issued several province-wide warrants for his arrest including, attempted murder, aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and arson.
Officers believe that Boskoyous and the two females are known to one another and that this was a domestic violence related incident.
