Mr Chandler will next appear at Luton Crown Court on Monday.

“We are still looking for others and they know who they are,” said Thames Valley Police’s head of crime, Detective Chief Superintendent Ian Hunter. “I want to appeal directly to those people. We are looking for you and we will find you, however long it takes.

“At this stage we have not released your names or photographs, so please hand yourself in to the nearest police station as soon as possible.

“This is not going to go away and if we have to, we will name you so there will be no place for you to hide.”

The force also urged witnesses to come forward and thanked those who had done so already.

“There are some people who have vital information and have not come forward or are refusing to assist. Some of these are very important witnesses,” Dt Ch Supt Hunter added.

“I know there will be various reasons for being reluctant to get involved but please, please think about the fact that Dom and Ben have been killed and how you would feel if this was your family.”
