Two women will appear in Amherst court today, after a fatal fire over the weekend.

Thirty-year-old Krystal Robertson of Moncton and 25-year-old Bryanna Ackles of Amherst are facing numerous charges including break and enter, and possession of a narcotic for trafficking purposes.

Police say a 26-year-old Moncton man was found dead inside the Amherst home after the fire on Saturday. He was not a resident of the home, and the homeowners were not there when the fire broke out.
