A man has been charged with two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder after two 17-year-olds were stabbed to death at a house party in Milton Keynes, Thames Valley Police has said.

Charlie Chandler, 21, of Fitzwilliam Street, Bletchley, was charged on Thursday.

A 22-year-old man from Milton Keynes has also been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in connection with the attack.

He has not been named and remains in police custody.

Shortly before midnight on Saturday, Thames Valley Police were called to an address in Archford Croft, in the Emerson Valley area of the town.
