A year after the death of three members of a 91原创 family in a burning house, the only survivor of the blaze was in court for a preliminary hearing on three charges of second degree murder.
Kia Ebrahimian鈥檚 preliminary hearing began Monday, June 14 in Surrey Provincial Court, and was scheduled to continue into Tuesday.
A trial date has not been set, according to the court registry.
On June 13, 2020, Medea 鈥楤efrin鈥� Ebrahimian, their mother Tatiana Bazyar, and Bazyar鈥檚 common-law husband Francesco Zangrilli were all found dead at or near the scene of a house fire in the 19600 block of Wakefield Drive in the 91原创 Meadows neighbourhood.
Kia Ebrahimian, Befrin鈥檚 brother, was charged with murder a month later.
Ebrahimian has made several court appearances over the summer and fall of last year. Details of a bail hearing in the case are covered by a publication ban.
Persons charged with criminal offenses are considered not guilty until the charges are proven in court.
Before and after charges were laid, memorials formal and informal paid tribute to the lives of those killed.
