A MAN has appeared in court charged with murdering his ex-partner and her mother outside their home.

Janbaz Tarin, of Evelyn Road, Sparkhill, Birmingham, is accused of killing Raneem Oudeh, 22, and 49-year-old Khaola Saleem.

Both died of stab wounds outside mother-of-six Ms Saleem's house in Northdown Road, Solihull, West Midlands, in the early hours of Bank Holiday Monday.

Tarin, who was married to Ms Oudeh under Islamic law, appeared at Birmingham Magistrates' Court on Saturday for just one minute 20 seconds.

Wearing grey jogging bottoms and a sweatshirt and flanked by three dock officers, he spoke only to confirm his name, age and address.

Chairman of the bench Patrick Wing told him the matter was to serious and must be dealt with at Crown Court and he was remanded in custody to appear there on Tuesday.

West Midlands Police had offered a £5,000 reward to track him down after the suspect allegedly went into hiding for three days.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "Janbaz Tarin, 21, has been charged with the murders of Raneem Oudeh, 22, and her mother Khaola Saleem, 49."

Tarin will appear before Birmingham Magistrates Court tomorrow morning.

The couple are understood to have shared a flat in Birmingham until earlier this month when mum-of-one Raneem went to live with her mum in Solihull.

Police were called to Northdown Road at just after 12.30am on August 27, and discovered the two women, aged 22 and 49 with serious stab wounds.

Tarin is understood to work as a cashier at his dad Mastu Tarin's convenience store near the family home in Birmingham.

Earlier this week his family told The Sun Online they have not heard from the suspect and had "no idea" where he was.

Cops raided the family home around five miles away from the scene of the attack, in the Sparkhill area of Birmingham on Monday evening.

Pictures obtained by Sun Online showed officers standing outside the property moments after they booted down the door of the house where relatives were inside.

Raneem, who had a two-year-old son from a previous relationship, is believed to have been a student at a local college.

Her grieving family members said in a statement: "Our family is devastated with the loss of our loved ones.

"We would like to give thanks for all the love and and support we have received, we kindly request that our privacy is respected at this difficult time."

Neighbours described hearing the victims "screaming like animals" after the attack.

West Midlands Police has referred itself to a police watchdog over its handling of the case.
