<p>A 45-year-old man has been charged with murdering his former partner and her son at the home they shared.</p>
<p>The bodies of 43-year-old Sally Cox and 22-year-old Martin Faulkner were discovered in a &#8220;horrific scene&#8221; at the terraced house in Banbury, Oxfordshire, on Monday morning.</p>
<p>Michael Kelly, of Hatch Road, Swindon, was arrested by police hours after the bodies were found in Mold Crescent, and will appear before magistrates tomorrow, Thames Valley Police said.</p>
<p>Kelly was charged with two counts of murder and one count of assault, Thames Valley Police said.</p>
<p>Two teenagers, thought to be Mrs Cox&#8217;s daughters Amy, 19, and 13-year-old Katie, were in the house at the time but managed to escape. The older girl was badly injured and was said to be in a serious but stable condition at Oxford&#8217;s John Radcliffe Hospital, while the younger of the two was &#8220;severely traumatised&#8221; but had no physical injuries.</p>
<p>Neighbours said the victims were killed with an axe. A post-mortem examination on Mrs Cox revealed she died of multiple head injuries caused by a &#8220;heavy bladed instrument&#8221;, a spokesman for the police force said.</p>
<p>Results of her son&#8217;s post-mortem are yet to be revealed.</p>
<p>Officers who went to the house were confronted by a &#8220;horrific scene&#8221;, with two people &#8220;obviously dead or very close to death&#8221;, Detective Inspector Steve Duffy said. He added: &#8220;All I can confirm is their injuries are consistent with blunt trauma and I can&#8217;t say if an axe was used, but a firearm was not used.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mrs Cox and her family are believed to have lived in their house for a year.</p>
<p>Kelly was traced to an address in Swindon where he was arrested. He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Banbury Magistrates&#8217; Court on Wednesday.</p>
