Cyclist stabbed to death following collision with car in Slough.

[Cycleops]

A story is emerging of the death of a 21 year old cyclist who chased down by a gang of four men after a collision with a car. Absolutely horrific this sort of thing can happen after such a minor incident.
My thoughts are with the family of the victim and I hope the people that commited this crime are swiftly brought to justice.

That's not a standard cyclist collision incident, I'll wager.

That's horrendous, but likely linked to other activities.

Should we be speculating on this ? We've no information at all ?

You don't have to if you'd prefer not to. I said very little indeed, though, so I suspect I'm not prejudicing anything that may (or may not) transpire should (or should not) anything be discovered as a result of investigation.

Local rag and BBC are saying that the group attacked him after they had knocked him off his bike.

In every photograph, 21 year old Kyron Lesner is pictured " throwing up gang signs" ie making hand gestures displaying his gang allegiance. Represent.

Having worked as a police officer in Slough I would think that this young man being a cyclist is incidental in this case. The press should dig a little deeper.

Man arrested on suspicion of murder.

When did that ever stop CycleChat demonizing motorists?

...or jumping to instant conclusions with zero reliable data.....

Three more men arrested, presumably the other reported occupants of the car.

All 4 arrested within a week. Not the smartest guys on the block. All in their 20s.
