Two men have been arrested following the death of a woman in Slough.
The 49-year-old was found at an address on Long Readings Lane following a call to police on Sunday, June 6.
Officers initially treated the death as unexplained but have now launched a murder investigation following the arrests of a 35-year-old man and a 49-year-old man, both from Slough, in connection with the death.
Formal identification of the woman has yet to take place, but specially trained officers are working with the woman’s family and providing them support.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Dejan Avramovic, of the Major Crime Unit, said: “First and foremost, our thoughts are with the family and friends of the woman who has died.
“As a result of our ongoing enquiries, in response to the discovery of the woman’s body on Sunday, we have now made the decision to launch a murder investigation.
“I understand that this will cause some concern in the local community in Slough, however I would like to provide the reassurance that we are undertaking a detailed investigation with two men arrested in connection with this incident.
“We also have a number of officers in the area, and so a visible presence will be there while we continue this investigation. If any residents of the area have concerns, please do approach our officers and speak with them.
“Although we have arrested two men on suspicion of murder, our Major Crime team are keeping an open mind as to the exact circumstances that led to the woman’s death, but can assure the local community that we are leaving no stone unturned in order to ascertain exactly what has happened.
“I would also like to appeal to anyone who may have information relating to this incident to get in touch with Thames Valley Police, either by making a report online or calling 101, quoting reference number 43210246599.
“Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, or make a report online.”
