A man accused of murdering his wife and mother-in-law and trying to kill their teenage friend appeared at Oxford Crown Court yesterday.

Ensar Gol, of Ireton Court, Thame, is accused of murdering his 28-year-old wife Michala and her mother Julie Sahin, 50.

Both had been stabbed and their bodies were found after police were called to Ireton Court just after 2am on Sunday.

Gol is also accused of the attempted murder of 19-year-old Casey Wilson, who was last night in hospital having suffered knife wounds to her neck.

The 21-year-old, from Turkey, was remanded in custody and told to return to the court on October 19.
