A man has been charged with the murders of two women found dead in a chest freezer in April last year.
Zahid Younis, 35, was charged with two counts of murder after the frozen bodies were discovered of Henriett Szucs, 34, and Mihrican Mustafa, 38, were discovered by police in Canning Town in April last year.
Youni was previously charged with two counts of preventing the lawful and decent burial of the victims in May.
He previously appeared at Kingston Crown Court charged with two counts of preventing the lawful and decent burial of the victim.
He will now appear at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on 14 February facing two charges of murder.
The Metropolitan Police launched a murder investigation after the women's clothed bodies were discovered fused together in a small chest freezer in a flat.
Detective Chief Inspector Simon Harding previously spoke of "truly shocking" way the women were murdered.
"Our heart goes out to these women’s friends and families," he said.
Henriett Szucs was a 34-year-old Hungarian national, while Mihrican Mustafa, 38, was a missing mother-of-three.
