Razavi and Soltani have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Masood Masjoody, a mathematician who was an instructor for a time at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C.

Homicide investigators have said Masjoody was last seen in February, and his remains were found in Mission, B.C., on March 6.

Sgt. Freda Fong says investigators believe Masjoody's killing was "targeted," and that the Burnaby man had "ongoing disputes" with the suspects. 

Court records show Masjoody filed lawsuits in recent years naming many parties as defendants, including the suspects as well as the late Shah of Iran's son, Reza Pahlavi, alleging defamation and harassment.

Masjoody was declared a "vexatious litigant" by the B.C. Court of Appeal last year.
