Man arrested over murder of two women in Oxfordshire

Police arrest man in connection with attack that left third woman with serious injuries at house in Thame A man has been arrested after two women were murdered and another left in a serious condition after being attacked in a house in the early hours of Sunday. Officers were called to Ireton Court in Thame, Oxfordshire, at 2.20am where two women were found with fatal injuries, Thames Valley police said. A third was taken to hospital but her condition is not thought to be life-threatening. A man was arrested on suspicion of murder shortly afterwards and he was being questioned at Abingdon police station. A police spokesman nobody else was being sought for questioning. Police and forensic investigators were at the scene of the murder on Sunday as neighbours spoke of their shock. One Ireton Court resident, who did not want to be named, said: “All the police have told us is that it’s a major incident. Neighbours are saying it is a domestic … I heard a helicopter flying overheard but I presumed there had been a car accident. It had its searchlight on and, thinking about it now, they must have been looking for someone. People haven’t been allowed to take their cars out and that’s all I know.” The ages of the victims have not been released. Crime Matthew Taylor guardian.co.uk
