A Slough teenager has been cleared of murdering a young boxer.

Hamza Mahmood, 18, of Shaggy Calf Lane, Slough, was acquitted of all charges against him in connection with an incident in which 18-year-old Mohammed Aman Ashraq (pictured), also from Slough, died.

It comes after a re-trial which started on the 26 October and concluded today.

At around 7.50pm on Saturday, January 4 this year, a fight took place between Mr Ashraq and another man, Mohammed Hussain, 18, in Benjamin Lane, Wexham.

During this incident, Mr Ashraq was stabbed in the back with a hunting knife.

Mr Ashraq was taken by paramedics from South Central Ambulance Service to Wexham Park Hospital but was sadly pronounced dead later that night.

Hussain was sentenced to 19 years behind bars after he was convicted of murdering Mr Ashraq.

Mr Mahmood, one of two defendants in the original trial, has been found not guilty of one count of murder and an alternate charge of manslaughter in connection with the incident.

Senior investigating officer detective inspector Dejan Avramovic, of Thames Valley Police’s Major Crime Unit, said: “This has been a long and painful process for the family of Mr Ashraq.

“My thoughts remain with them and I hope that the conclusion of today’s re-trial gives them some solace after this tragic incident.

“I would like to pay tribute to them for supporting our investigation throughout what has been an extremely difficult time.”
