A man has been charged with murder after a body was found following a house fire in Hobart.
Police and emergency services were called to Sanders Street in the northern suburb of Glenorchy about 7am on Friday after reports a house was on fire.
Tasmania Police Detective Acting Inspector Nick Bowden said a body was found inside the residence.
A 40-year-old New Town man was taken into custody on Friday afternoon and formally charged with murder late on Sunday night.
The man has also been charged with arson, motor vehicle stealing and unlawfully setting fire to property.
He was remanded in custody to appear in Hobart Magistrates Court on Monday.
