On Sunday 4th October, it was reported that two men were arrested on suspicion of murdering a mother and her daughter.
The BBC reported that Dr Saman Mir Sacharvi and Vian Mangrio, were found dead at their home in Reedley with their bodies discovered inside a fire-damaged house. The men, from Burnley are now held on suspicion of two counts of murder, two of rape and one of arson with intent to endanger life.
Det Supt Jon Holmes, head of major crime, in his statement to the BBC said, "Our thoughts remain with Dr Sacharvi and Miss Mangrio's family and friends at this awful time and we send them our deepest condolences. We have a team of detectives dedicated to the investigation and we will leave no stone unturned."
In a tribute issued by Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust, Dr Sacharvi was described as a "well-loved and well-liked colleague" while her daughter was found badly burnt inside the house, the police reported.
