A man has been charged in connection with the deaths of his sister, mother and mother's common law partner after what police described as a triple-homicide ended in a house fire in Langley, B.C., last month. Homicide investigators said Monday Kia Ebrahimian, 24, was charged Friday with three counts of second-degree murder in relation to the deaths of his family members. The bodies of his sister, Medea 'Befrin' Ebrahimian, mother, Tatiana Bazyar, and mother's partner, Francesco Zangrilli, were found after a fire at the family home in the Langley Meadows neighbourhood on June 13. "There is really no other word than tragic to describe what happened inside that Langley home," said Sgt. The officer did not elaborate Monday on how Kia was implicated in the triple-homicide or what led to his arrest on Friday.
