THREE men have been charged in connection with a suspected honour-based attack in Blackburn.
Mazhar Iqbal, 34, Mohammed Zaib, 25, and Nauman Ahmed, 23, all of Higher Audley Street, were charged for arson with intent to endanger life and making threats to kill.
Neighbours in the Blackburn street reported being woken in the middle of the night by men shouting outside their homes, before seeing the Vauxhall Astra burst into flames.
Police called to Leamington Road then found an unlit bottle containing petrol which had been thrown into the house.
