A murder investigation has been launched after a teenage boy was found dead in a Slough skate park today.

The 15-year-old was pronounced dead at the skate park in Salt Hill Park, Stoke Poges Lane, this evening.

He was found with stab wounds after reportedly being involved in a fight with another male.

“If you have any information or footage which you think could help our investigation, please do the right thing, come forward and speak to us.

“I understand that there will be a lot of concern in the community about this offence, but I would like to reassure people that we believe this to be an isolated incident and that a full investigation is underway.

“Members of the public might see an increased police presence in the area, and anyone with any questions should feel free to approach them.”
