(BBC) A man who murdered a doctor and her daughter in “a brutal, shocking attack” has [been] jailed for life.
Shahbaz Khan drugged Dr Saman Mir Sacharvi, 49, and Vian Mangrio, 14, before killing them and setting fire to their house in Burnley in 2020.
The 51-year-old told police spirits, known in the Islamic faith as jinns, were responsible for the deaths.
He pleaded guilty to the murders at Preston Crown Court and was jailed for a minimum of 34 years.
Judge Mr Justice Goss said the murders “were planned and determined in their execution” and “motivated by financial gain.”
