Mother and son found ‘murdered’

A man has been arrested after two people were found dead in a house in Oxfordshire.

Officers were called to Mold Crescent in Banbury at 0645 GMT where they found the bodies of a woman in her 40s and a man in his 20s.

Detectives who are conducting the double murder inquiry said they believed the victims knew their killer.

A 43-year-old man was arrested in Swindon and will be questioned later on suspicion of murder.

Another woman and a girl who were in the property at the time have been taken to safety.

Det Ch Insp Pete Vigurs said: “Firstly I would like to reassure the community.

“We do not believe this is a random attack and think the victims knew their killer.

“This is an ongoing investigation and at this time there is nothing more we can say, but we will look to provide updates as soon as possible.”
