A man has been charged with the murder of two apprentice jockeys who died in a fire at a flat in North Yorkshire.

Peter William Brown, 37, from Malton, North Yorkshire, is due to appear at Scarborough Magistrates' Court on Friday morning.

Jamie Kyne, 18, from County Galway, and Jan Wilson, 19, from Forfar, died in the fire in Norton, near Malton, on 5 September.

Two other young jockeys were injured as they escaped the blaze.

A series of tributes were held at racecourses and yards across Britain and Ireland after the deaths of the two young riders, who were on the second floor of the flat when the fire broke out.
