A 37-year-old man was charged tonight with the murders of two young jockeys who died in a fire at a flat.

Peter Brown, from Malton, North Yorkshire, will appear tomorrow morning, accused of murdering the two promising apprentices.

The blaze claimed the life of Jamie Kyne, 18, from Co Galway, and Jan Wilson, 19, from Forfar, Scotland.

Two other young jockeys were injured as they escaped the fire in a three-storey block just off Norton's main street.
