Members of the public are advised not to approach Mr Fox, but if anyone does see him they should call 999 or report the sighting to their nearest police station.

Detective Chief Inspector Dave Rooney, said: “The investigation into these deaths is at an early stage and although the motive is unclear at this time, although we believe the offender may be known to the victims.

“I would also ask the public to help us find Peter as we need to speak to him urgently in relation to the two murders.

“I would stress to the public that if they do see Peter Fox, they should not approach him.”
