Dad arrested after women, 24 and 38, ‘including his partner’ killed as screams heard in Xmas Day ‘stabbing rampage’
A DAD has been arrested on suspicion of murdering two women and stabbing a boy and a man in a Christmas Day “rampage”.
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.”
Dua Lipa gets ENGAGED to boyfriend Callum Turner after romantic Christmas proposal following a year of dating
SINGER Dua Lipa is going into 2025 as a bride-to-be after boyfriend Callum Turner proposed.
Pals told The Sun the pair quietly got engaged and are planning to celebrate with their friends and family on New Year’s Eve.
It caps off a great 2024 for Dua, 29, and actor Callum, 34, who have been dating since the start of the year.
A source said: “Dua and Callum are so in love and know this is forever.
“They are engaged and couldn’t be happier.
“Dua has had one of the best years of her career professionally and this is the cherry on the cake.
“Callum is such a solid support for Dua and they make a wonderful couple. Their family and friends are so happy. It’s been an amazing Christmas for them.”
Dua, whose hits include New Rules, Physical and Houdini, posted a snap on Instagram of her wearing a ring on her engagement finger.
She has just finished the first leg of her stadium tour and returned to the UK from Asia to spend Christmas with family and Callum.
Last week The Sun revealed Dua and Callum were planning a big New Year’s Eve bash in London. It will now be a chance for them to celebrate their engagement.
An insider added: “Dua and Callum have gone all out with this party.
“It’s in a top-secret location with all their famous pals invited, along with their families.
“It will be a New Year’s Eve party no one will ever forget, especially for Callum and Dua.”
They were first seen together in January at an after-party for the premiere of his Apple TV miniseries Masters of the Air.
They danced in Beverly Hills before they were photographed together for the first time days later — having dinner with friends in Los Angeles.
Callum joined Dua’s family this summer as she headlined at Glastonbury, and was also at several recent gigs, including one at the Royal Albert Hall.
