A murder investigation is underway after a man was found dead in Redbridge Hollow.

On Saturday morning (27 June), South Central Ambulance crews called police to the home of a man in Redbridge Hollow (off Abingdon Road in Oxford).  The male, aged 33, was unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene.
