A SECOND man who died in hospital following a double stabbing in Slough has been formally identified.

David Yokota, 39, of Robin Hood Close, Cippenham, was found with life-threatening injuries in Lower Cippenham Lane on Friday, February 10.

He was taken to hospital, and further police enquiries lead them to find 59-year-old Dennis Kelly stabbed to death at a property in Lewins Way, Cippenham.

Mr Yokota died in hospital under police supervision on Sunday, February 12.

A post-mortem examination on Thursday was inconclusive.

Only the two men are believed to have been involved in the double stabbing.

A close friend of Mr Yokota said: “I’m gutted. Dave was a very happy-go-lucky man.”

Investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Ailsa Kent of the Major Crime unit, said: “I would like to thank the community for their understanding and patience while officers were carrying out enquiries in relation to the investigation.”

The investigation is continuing and a file will be prepared for the coroner.
