A B.C. high school teacher is facing a second-degree murder charge in the death of his pregnant wife, police have confirmed.

Delta police announced the charge against 35-year-old Mukhtiar Panghali, a high school physics teacher, on Monday.

The charred remains of his wife, 30-year-old Manjit Panghali, were found in Delta last October, several days after she disappeared.

Her husband's 27-year-old brother, Sukhvinder, is also charged with being an accessory after the fact, police said.

Both men are accused of improper or indecent disposal of a body.

"The investigators have advised me that they don't anticipate any further arrests at this point,but having said that, the investigation is ongoing," Delta Police Const. Sharlene Brooks told reporters.

The victim's sister, Jasmine Bhambra, read a statement on behalf of the family thanking the public and police for their support.

"We are extremely grateful to the Delta police for the way in which they have handled this investigation from the onset. You are truly to be commended on your outstanding work in helping this case come to some kind of a conclusion, and we are very confident that this will reach the appropriate outcome in due time," Bhambra said.

Manjit Panghali, a 30-year-old mother of a three-year-old daughter, was four months pregnant with her second child when she went missing.

The popular Grade 1 teacher at North Ridge Elementary School in Surrey, Panghali was last seen on Oct. 18, when she left home to attend a local prenatal yoga class.

She never arrived at her destination.

At a news conference shortly after her disappearance, her husband tearfully pleaded for anyone with information about her disappearance to step forward.

He also told reporters he did not report his wife missing until Thursday evening, about 26 hours after he last saw her.

He said he wanted to make sure she wasn't staying with family members before he contacted police.

Reports have alleged that there was tension between Manjit and her brother-in-law Sukhvinder.

One neighbour told CTV News, "they kicked the brother-in-law out and she (Manjit) was like, I get my own house back."
