Boy, 15, arrested over murder of two teenagers at Milton Keynes house party
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of two counts of murder following the death of two teenagers at a Milton Keynes house party last month.
The unnamed boy is current being held in police custody over the murders of Dom Ansah and Ben Gillham-Rice, both 17, in Emerson Valley on 19 October.
Police have also arrested a 53-year-old man and a woman, 40, both from Milton Keynes, on suspicion of assisting an offender.
A neighbour who knew the victims suggested the stabbing was related to a house party that had been held in the vicinity.
What appeared to be blood was smeared across the front door of a house in Archford Croft.
Two males were also seriously injured in the attack but their injuries were “not life threatening”.
The latest news follows four previous arrests over the death of the two 17-year-olds.
