A DAD-of-four was stabbed to death in front of his horrified parents on Father's Day after he was allegedly targeted by a gang, terrified locals say.

Beau collapsed in front of his parents' home and was declared dead at the scene shortly after.

Locals say the dad-of-four had only recently moved back in with his mum and dad.

Speaking the day after Beau's death, one neighbour said: "I was having Father's Day lunch out the back of my house when I heard something unusual.

"I think he was stabbed. I came out of my house and I saw Beau's father in a chair and a critical care ambulance car was just across our driveway.

"I have been told that five people came over to beat Beau up and then ran away through the alleyway to Oxford Avenue.

"The police forensic people were in the alleyway last night, looking down the drains and trying to find something."

Another neighbour added: "It was quite a shock to us when we saw all the police arrive on the road yesterday afternoon.

"Nothing like this has happened here before, it is a really nice and friendly area and a quiet street. We have certainly never seen anything like it."

Police say they were called to the scene at around 1.10pm following reports of an "altercation".

Two men have now been charged with murder after the tragedy.

Martin Fleming, 20 and of of Bideford Spur, Slough, appeared before magistrates today, while 30-year-old Daniel Hicks - who is also charged with having a knife in a public place - will be in the dock at Reading Crown Court on Tuesday.

A 32-year-old man and 36-year-old man from Slough who were arrested earlier on suspicion of murder have been released under investigation.

A 28-year-old man of no fixed abode and a 37-year-old woman from Burnham who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender have also been released pending further enquiries.

Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Blaik, of the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit, said: “We are working to establish the circumstances of exactly what has happened.

“If you were in the area at the time and witnessed this altercation, or if you have any other details which you think could be useful to us, please get in touch.

“I appreciate that this incident could cause a great deal of concern in the community, but I would like to take this opportunity to reassure people that firstly we have launched a thorough investigation to identify those responsible, and secondly that we do not believe there is any threat to the wider public."
