Woman dead and man stabbed in Slough
By Aamina Zafar
A WOMAN has been killed and a man stabbed in Chalvey this morning (Tuesday).
Police were called at 7am after a man in his early twenties was wounded in The Crescent.
He was rushed to Wexham Park Hospital where he remains in a serious condition.
Investigating officers then visited a home in Ledgers Road where they found a woman in her twenties with serious injuries.
Despite efforts from paramedics to revive her, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
A man in his twenties has been arrested in connection with both incidents and remains in police custody.
Supt Chris Shead, Local Police Area Commander for Slough, said: “I would like to reassure the local community that a thorough investigation is underway. The full facts of this morning’s incident are currently being established, but we believe that both incidents are linked. A family liaison officer has been appointed and will be providing support to our victim’s family at this very difficult time.
“We have a number of Police Community Support Officers and police officers out in Chalvey providing reassurance.”
Police closed Ledgers Road and The Crescent following the two incidents this morning which caused major traffic tailbacks.
