Speaking at a news conference, Detective Superintendent Chris Ward from Thames Valley Police said: “We are able to say the likely cause of each of their deaths is stab wounds.
“In relation to the search for the suspect, we are carrying out a number of searches.
“Some of those searches are with armed officers.
