A MAN suspected of being married to two women at the same time has been charged with bigamy.
Restaurateur Fazlur Rahman, of Gowers Street, Heybrook, was arrested at Manchester Airport on Thursday night and charged with bigamy and an immigration offence.
It is believed that police swooped as the 42-year-old flew back into the country from Lanzarote, where he owns a restaurant in Fuerteventura.
He was arrested by officers from Greater Manchester Police on behalf of the Cumbria Constabulary's immigration crime team and taken to Workington Police Station where he was interviewed and charged.
Mr Fazlur, who is also believed to own five restaurants in Cumbria, made his first appearance at West Allerdale Magistrate's Court in Workington on Saturday and was remanded in custody to reappear yesterday (Tuesday).

I don't think much of his wife-juggling abilities, but clearly he should be giving an entrepreneurial masterclass in how to run restaurants. Rochdale development agency should sign him up before he burns out (it's always the women that catch you out ;-))
