Cyclist found murdered after being chased by group of men following collision is pictured

A cyclist who was murdered after being chased by a group of men following a collision with a car will be "dearly missed" by his devastated family.

Kyron Lesner has been named by his brother on social media as the 21-year-old who was killed on Sunday evening in Slough, Berkshire.

He was hailed as someone who played a "big role played in a lot of people's lives".

Thames Valley Police launched a murder investigation after a 21-year-old man was found seriously injured.

The man had been riding a bike when it collided with a car believed to be a black Volkswagen Golf.

Afterwards, about four men exited the Golf and chased the man where he was fatally attacked, police said.

Those in the VW Golf then fled the scene in the vehicle.

Paramedics from the South Central Ambulance Service also attended, but tragically, the man was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 9.45pm on Sunday.

Police said his next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.

Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Howard, of the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit, said: “This is a tragic and shocking incident, which has resulted in the death of a 21-year-old man.

“Details at this very early stage are limited, including descriptions of the offenders.

“It is therefore incredibly important that we hear from anyone who witnessed any part of this incident.

"If you saw the offence itself, or if you saw a black VW Golf driving in the area prior to or after the incident, please get in touch.

"The vehicle may well have damage as a result of the collision. We would be particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has dash-cam, CCTV or doorbell footage which could be relevant.

“Our officers are at the scene and will remain so while our investigation continues.

"I appreciate that a serious incident such as this may create a lot of concern in the community, but a detailed and thorough investigation is underway and at this time there is no indication that there is any wider risk to the public.

"If any members of the local community do have concerns please speak to one of our officers at the scene."

If you have any information that you think could help the police, please call 101, quoting reference number 20221002-1905.
