A man has been charged with the murders of two women found dead in a chest freezer in east London.

The bodies of 34-year-old Henriett Szucs and Mihrican Mustafa, 38, were discovered by police in a flat in Canning Town last April.

The suspect, Zahid Younis, 35, is due to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on 14 February charged with their murders.

Ms Szucs was a Hungarian citizen and had lived in the UK for several years but had no fixed address, the Metropolitan Police has said previously.

Ms Mustafa, a mother of three who was also known as MJ, had been reported missing by her family a year before her body was found.


Younis, of Canning Town, was previously charged with two counts of preventing the lawful and decent burial of a dead body.

He appeared at Kingston Crown Court over those charges in May.
