CYCLIST CHASED DOWN AND MURDERED BY FOUR MEN AFTER COLLIDING WITH CAR

BY RYAN SMITHERAM
A 21-year-old cyclist was chased down and killed by four men after being involved in a crash with a car in Cippenham, in Slough. The four perpetrators got out of the car and attacked the cyclist before fleeing the scene in what is believed to be a black Volkswagen Golf.

Paramedics attempted to save the cyclist, but his injuries were too serious and he died on the scene. Officers from Thames Valley Police have described the incident as "shocking" and are now launching a murder investigation.

Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Howard, of the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit, said:

"This is a tragic and shocking incident, which has resulted in the death of a 21-year-old man.


Details at this very early stage are limited, including descriptions of the offenders.

It is therefore incredibly important that we hear from anyone who witnessed any part of this incident.

If you saw the offence itself, or if you saw a black VW Golf driving in the area prior to or after the incident, please get in touch."


Detective Chief Inspector Howard added:

"Our officers are at the scene and will remain so while our investigation continues.

I appreciate that a serious incident such as this may create a lot of concern in the community, but a detailed and thorough investigation is underway and at this time there is no indication that there is any wider risk to the public.

If any members of the local community do have concerns please speak to one of our officers at the scene.

If you have any information that you think could help us, please call 101, quoting reference number 20221002-1905."


Our thoughts and prayers go out to the young man's family and friends in this difficult time.
