Murder suspect detained under the Mental Health Act

A man arrested in connection with the murders of his mother and sister has been detained under the Mental Health Act.

Peter Fox,26, from Liverpool, was arrested at London's Euston Station yesterday on suspicion of murdering Bernadette Fox, 57, and his sister Sarah, 27.

In a statement issued through police, the family of the murdered women said:

We are absolutely devastated following the loss of Bernadette and Sarah and are still trying to come to terms with what has happened to them both.

Bernadette, who was a mother of three and grandmother of three, was a very outgoing and lovely person who wouldn't harm anyone. In fact, she only ever had nice things to say about people. She was so caring and would help anyone.

And Sarah was loved by her family and well liked by her friends and neighbours. She was a fantastic aunty and was a cheeky, bubbly and outgoing person who loved her dog. They will both be greatly missed
