Murder Investigation Launched in Slough After Death of Child
A murder investigation has been launched in Slough following the death of a child, Thames Valley Police has confirmed.
After an initial investigation, the force’s Major Crime Unit has begun a murder inquiry. A 27-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman, both from Slough, were arrested yesterday (26 March) on suspicion of murder and grievous bodily harm.
They have since been released on conditional police bail pending further enquiries.
Detective Inspector Nick Hind, of the Major Crime Unit at Thames Valley Police, said:
“This is an exceptionally tragic incident, in which a child has sustained serious injuries and, very sadly, has subsequently tragically passed away in hospital.
Our enquiries are still at an early stage. Two individuals have been arrested in relation to this incident and have been released on conditional police bail while our investigation continues and further lines of enquiry are explored.
I appreciate that an incident of this nature will cause significant concern within the community. However, based on the information we have at this time, we do not believe there is any broader threat to the public.”
