<p>Detectives are questioning a man held on suspicion of murdering his ex-girlfriend and her son with an axe.</p>
<p>The 45-year-old was arrested on Monday morning after the victims&#8217; bodies were discovered in a &#8220;horrific&#8221; scene at their terrace home in Mold Crescent, Banbury, Oxfordshire.</p>
<p>The victims were named locally as Sally Cox, 43, and Martin Faulkner, 22.</p>
<p>Mrs Cox&#8217;s two teenage daughters managed to flee the house. One was badly hurt in the incident and the other, a 13-year-old, was &#8220;severely traumatised&#8221; but uninjured, police said.</p>
<p>The suspect, who police said was a former partner of Mrs Cox, was arrested by armed police in Wiltshire a few hours later.</p>
<p>Detective Inspector Steve Duffy said: &#8220;As you can appreciate, officers went to the address and were faced with a horrific scene. There were two people obviously dead or very close to death at the scene.</p>
<p>&#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. The police traced a suspect to an address in Wiltshire and police went to that address and effected an arrest.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Duffy said police had received no previous calls to the address about domestic incidents.</p>
<p>A shocked neighbour of the victims, who did not want to be named, said: &#8220;All we&#8217;ve heard is there&#8217;s been a murder and an axe was involved. I know the house but I don&#8217;t know who lives there.&#8221;</p>
<p>More than 40 police officers were working on the investigation, as the end-terrace house was cordoned off and a long stretch of the road was closed to traffic and pedestrians in both directions. Police officers were also present at a second house in Mold Crescent, opposite the scene of the attack.</p>
