A 63-year-old man who murdered two squatters by setting a house on fire has been jailed for life today at Oxford Crown Court.

James Cox killed Sian Sanchez, 36, and Howard Blake 51, at Redbridge Cottage in Old Abingdon Road, Oxford, in January 2007.

He was convicted of two counts of murder after a trial in April.

He was ordered to serve a minimum of 20 years.
