Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murdering a teenager in Slough.

Police officers were called to Benjamin Lane just before 8pm on Saturday amid reports that an 18-year-old man had been stabbed following an altercation.

The victim was taken to Wexham Park Hospital for treatment, but was later pronounced dead.

His next of kin have been informed, Thames Valley Police said.

Dejan Avramovic, of Thames Valley Police's major crime unit, said: “We are carrying out an extensive investigation following the death of a young man in Slough.

“Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time.”

Two 18-year-old men from Slough have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in police custody.

He added: “We are following a number of investigative lines of enquiry including house to house and CCTV enquiries and we have made two arrests in connection with this incident.

“Members of the public will see an increased police presence whilst we continue to investigate and patrols will be increased in the area.”

Road closures are in place in the Wexham area and are likely to remain for some time.
