Thames Valley Police say the murder investigation into the death of Ashley Gillard remains ongoing
A man charged with arson with intent to endanger life after a man was found dead following a flat fire has appeared in court.
Thomas White, 25, of Bibury Close, Wellingborough, did not enter a plea at Milton Keynes Magistrates' Court.
He also faced two counts of taking a vehicle without consent.
The body of Ashley Gillard, 31, was found in a flat in Trevithick Court, Wolverton in Milton Keynes by emergency crews on Monday.
The case was adjourned until 15 June when it will resume at Aylesbury Crown Court.
A post-mortem examination on Mr Gillard found the cause of death was inconclusive and further tests will need to be carried out.
A 25-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder has been granted police bail until 10 August.
