The dead pair were aged 24 and 38 and one is believed to be his partner.

Neighbours said the family had gathered for celebrations — but hours later a teenage boy and a dog were seen dashing from the flat in Milton Keynes soaked in blood.

They also heard desperate screams of “I can’t breathe” during the chaos.

Both female victims died at the scene, while the boy and man in his late 20s were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Police arrived just after 6.30pm  at the home in Bletchley, Milton Keynes, and found the injured dog, which was taken to a vet but later died.

One tearful neighbour told The Sun: “At around 6pm a lady came out on the balcony – she’s screaming, ‘I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe’.”

He said the young boy then ran out of the house and sought refuge with a another neighbour.

The witness said the man in the flat was “on a rampage” and the boy had been stabbed in the chest and head.

He went on: “The dog ran out, covered in blood. Within minutes there were about 12 ambulances.”

Another shocked witness said medics treated a bloodied male in the street before taking him to hospital.

He said: “Paramedics were working on him and the other victims were covered in a white tarp.”

The  suspect is believed to have attempted to escape the scene in a car before he was caught by police nearby.

A witness said: “We saw him getting in his car. We were on our balcony telling police ‘He’s there and he just sped off.’”

Forensics officers have been seen searching a home with a Christmas wreath and kids’ toys strewn outside.

One neighbour, who asked not to be named, previously told The Sun: “It’s mortifying.

“I heard all the ambulances last night but you don’t expect anything like this to happen around here. 

“And on Christmas day of all days.”

Last night, detectives were questioning  a 49-year-old man from the city on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

The two injured males were in a stable condition last night, Thames Valley Police said.

Blood was seen on the door of the home.

A forensics team was seen investigating and numbered yellow evidence markers were on the road outside, including on the boot of a car parked nearby.

Flowers were left outside the block of flats, including a tribute with a grey teddy bear in a Santa outfit.

Shazna Muzammil, a Conservative councillor on Milton Keynes City Council, said in a statement on X: “This is horrible on Christmas Day and we are deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic events in Bletchley.

“Our thoughts are with the families, friends, and neighbours of the two women who have tragically lost their lives.”

Ms Muzammil said those involved in the incident were known to each other.

Det Chief Insp Stuart Brangwin said: “Firstly I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the families of the women who have tragically died in this shocking incident.

“We have launched a double murder investigation, which may be concerning to the wider public; however, we have made an arrest and are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident and the parties are known to each other.”
