UPDATE: Slough stabbing - Teen arrested in Salt Hill Park murder probe

A murder investigation has been launched after a teenage boy was found dead in a Slough skate park today.

The 15-year-old was pronounced dead at the skate park in Salt Hill Park, Stoke Poges Lane, this evening. 

He was found with stab wounds after reportedly being involved in a fight with another male. 

Police were called to the park by the ambulance service at around 6.30pm. 

The teen's next of kin have been informed and are being by specially trained officers.

A scene watch has been put in place and a full investigation into the incident has been launched but no one has been arrested. 

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Shearwood of the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit, said: “We have launched a murder investigation following this incident and our officers are at the scene carrying out enquiries in order to locate those responsible for this crime.

“I believe that a number of other people were in the skate park at the time this occurred, so I would like to appeal to anyone who saw this incident to come forward, if they have not already done so.

“I would particularly like to appeal to anyone who has any mobile phone footage of the incident or knows who is responsible for this crime.

“If you have any information or footage which you think could help our investigation, please do the right thing, come forward and speak to us.

“I understand that there will be a lot of concern in the community about this offence, but I would like to reassure people that we believe this to be an isolated incident and that a full investigation is underway.

“Members of the public might see an increased police presence in the area, and anyone with any questions should feel free to approach them.”
