A neighbour who know the victims suggested the stabbing was related to a house party which had been held in the vicinity.
What appeared to be blood was smeared across the front door of a house in Archford Croft.
Two males were also seriously injured in the attack but their injuries were “not life threatening”.
The latest news follows four previous arrests for the death of the two 17-year-olds.
Charlie Chandler, 21, Earl Bevans, 22, and a 16-year-old boy - all from Milton Keynes - have been charged with two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
All three have been remanded in custody until they appear before Luton Crown Court on Monday 27 January 2020.
