Two 17-year-old boys have died after being found stabbed inside a Milton Keynes home.
An investigation is now underway although no arrests have been made, Thames Valley Police said in a statement this morning.
One of the boys died at the scenes while the other died in hospital as a result of his injuries.
Two adults also suffered serious injuries in the incident, which happened shortly before midnight on Saturday.
The two men did not suffer life-threatening injuries, detectives confirmed.
The scene is currently cordoned off as forensic officers gather evidence.
Ian Hunter, head of crime detective chief superintendent, said: “Thames Valley Police is in the early stages of a double murder investigation after two teenage boys have tragically died in this shocking incident.
“Our priorities at this time are to conduct a thorough investigation and to support those who have been affected.
"Officers are currently at the scene which has been cordoned off and members of the public are asked to avoid the area.
“I would like to speak to anyone who has any information which could help with our enquiries or anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity in the area of Archford Croft at around the time of the incident around midnight.
“Even if you think details may be insignificant, please come forward and speak to police."
Next of kin for both victims have been informed.
