OTTAWA -- Police have laid a first degree murder charge in the death of an Ottawa man.

20-year-old Mutiur Rehman has been charged in the death of André Boisclair.

Paramedics were called early Saturday morning to a rooming house (near Somerset West and Lyon streets) and found Boisclair inside.

The 37-year-old died en route to hospital.

A tenant at the rooming house says he was awoken by the sound of screaming coming from an upstairs apartment.

Boisclair's death is Ottawa's ninth homicide of the year.
