When they arrived, police said a 68-year-old man was found dead inside the home.
Police said the accused was still at the house when they arrived.
Guelph police said a 32-year-old man was arrested at the scene and has since been charged with second-degree murder.
Court documents revealed that 32-year-old Jaspal Sidu has been charged with second degree murder. He appeared in front of a Guelph judge on Wednesday and remains in custody.
Police said the two men are related to one another but would not confirm their exact relationship.
A neighbour told CTV News, the two were father and son – both said to be kind people.
“[He] was just a lovely man. His family was lovely, his son was very helpful in the neighbourhood,” said neighbour Diane Jones.
According to police, members of the family have been notified.
Police would not comment on the cause of death, or if any weapon is a part of the investigation.
