The family of a slain pregnant woman wants to make sure her husband and accused killer doesn't benefit financially from her death.The family of Surrey school teacher Manjit Panghali has filed a writ in B.C. Supreme Court asking to bar Mukhtiar Panghali from accessing any assets belonging to the couple.

This includes two properties the pair shared.

The family has also launched a separate action under B.C.'s Family Compensation Act in a bid to gain financial damages for the couple's young child.

Mukhtiar is charged with second-degree murder while his brother Sukhvinder is charged with being an accessory after the fact. The 30-year-old woman's charred remains were found beside a road in suburban Delta last October.
