The body of 21-year-old Adam Marriott was discovered inside a smoke-filled townhouse on Leichhardt St just before 11pm last Wednesday.
A 38-year-old man was located in the Redland Bay area about an hour later suffering burns.
He’s remained under Police guard in a Brisbane hospital since then.
Detectives have this afternoon charged the Coomera man with one count each of murder, arson and unlawful striking.
He is due to face a bedside hearing on Wednesday.
