A MAN has been found guilty of stabbing another man in the back of the head in Slough.
Duane Dunne, of Lomond Court, Slough, was found guilty after a trial at Reading Crown Court after he was charged with one count of wounding with intent and one count of possession of a bladed article.
After a week-long trial, a jury found the 44-year-old guilty of unlawfully and maliciously wounding Shane Cooper at Upton Park Hotel on December 4 last year.

Taking to the witness stand on Monday (June 5), Mr Cooper said he remembers the incident ‘very well’ and it is like ‘it was yesterday’.
He said he was on the ground floor of the building with two other males, heard in court only as Gary and David, when Dunne allegedly entered the room ‘toying’ with a silver and red Stanley blade.
Mr Cooper said: “I remember like it was yesterday. Coldplay was playing, I’ll never forget that. [Dunne] came in, banging on the ground, on the floor, giving it all bully big boy ultimatum.
“I turned my back and he pulled a blade on me. I went upstairs and I was bleeding profusely. It was like a running tap – it was a blood bath.
