A 51-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Dr Saman Mir Sacharvi, 49, and her daughter, Vian Mangrio, 14, who were found dead inside a fire and smoke-damaged house in Burnley last week. Lancashire police have charged Shabaz Khan, of Ribble Avenue, Burnley, with two counts of murder and one count of arson being reckless as to whether life is endangered. He will appear at Blackburn magistrates court on Friday. A 44-year-old woman from Burnley, arrested earlier on Thursday on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and aiding and abetting murder, remains in custody. A Home Office postmortem investigation earlier this week revealed Dr Sacharvi died as a result of pressure to the neck and that she had also suffered an assault. The second body, which was found badly burnt at the property in Colne Road, Burnley, has yet to be formally identified, but is believed to be Vian Mangrio, police said.
