A 37-year-old man will appear in court today charged with the murders of two young jockeys who died in a fire at a flat.
Peter Brown, from Malton, North Yorkshire, will face magistrates, accused of murdering promising apprentices Jamie Kyne, 18, and Jan Wilson, 19, in September this year.
Kyne, from County Galway, and Wilson, from Forfar, Scotland, died in the blaze at a flats complex in Norton, near Malton, North Yorkshire.
The deaths of the two young riders shocked the racing world and a series of tributes were held at racecourses and yards across Britain and Ireland.
Brown was arrested earlier this week by officers investigating the blaze at the three-storey block of flats on September 5th.
He was charged with two counts of murder last night and will appear at Scarborough Magistrates' Court this morning.
