Witnesses sought as part of investigation into death of Slough cyclist
Police are appealing for two people to contact them as they may have been the last people to see a Slough cyclist before he died.
Officers are keen to speak to an Irish man in his late fifties who was talking to the cyclist, David Garden, while they were in the queue for a kebab van in Slough on 5 August.
The kebab van was parked in Farnham Road, near the junction with Northborough Road, Slough.
Officers would also like to talk to a white woman who got out of a silver saloon car, possibly a Nissan Primera or similar, which was parked on the kerb in Farnham Road
The man and the woman were spotted on CCTV footage taken at about 10.15pm.
David Garden, aged 46, of Northborough Road, Slough, was found lying in Northborough Road next to a bicycle 15 minutes later. He sustained serious head and back injuries and was taken to Wexham Park Hospital where he later died.
A post-mortem carried out by a Home Office pathologist on 6 August found that Mr Garden’s injuries were consistent with being hit by an object travelling at speed.
Slough Sgt Dave Beeson, investigating the incident, said: “I must stress that this man and woman are not suspects, but they might be the last people to see David Garden alive, and may have vital information about what happened to him.”
If you are the man or woman in the CCTV footage, or have any other information, please contact Sgt Beeson at the Roads Policing Department in Taplow via 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police or give your name, please call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
