A man has been charged with preventing a lawful burial of two women whose bodied were found in the freezer of an east London flat.
Zarhid Younis, 34, has been charged with two counts of preventing a lawful burial after the bodies of two women were found in a freezer in an east London flat on Friday, Scotland Yard said today.
Detectives say it could take a week to identify the clothed bodies, which were fused together in a small chest freezer.
Post-mortem examinations will begin on the pair of women on Friday but are likely to take days due to the conditions in which they were found, Scotland Yard said today.

Mary Jane Mustafa, a 38-year-old mother-of-two who went missing last year, lived locally before she vanished, has been linked to the flat where the bodies were found.
Yesterday, her sister and friends paid an emotional visit to the crime scene where the frozen remains were found.
The two women were found piled on top of each other in a chest freezer and they were so frozen it will take 'a week' before they can be identified.
Miss Mustafa went missing a year ago - and she was last seen on a London bus
They were found crammed inside the 'not particularly big' freezer 'with their clothes on' in Canning Town, east London on April 26.
Detectives are searching two addresses in east London and another one in Ladbroke Grove, west London.
