Murder-Suicide Probe After Slough Train Deaths

Police are investigating whether a woman and child who were killed by a train in Slough died in a murder-suicide.

Chief Inspector Jenny Gilmer has ruled out any involvement by a third party in the deaths, which occurred around 9.45am.

She said the deaths are still being treated as suspicious, adding that murder-suicide is "one of the lines of inquiry that our officers will be pursuing, but we must not speculate".

The station was cordoned off for nearly six hours as police gathered evidence from the scene, leading to major disruption for First Great Western passengers.

At least 15 services, many of them beginning at London Paddington station, were cancelled and other journeys were delayed.

Officers searched the railway tracks and studied CCTV footage at the station. They have also spoken to several witnesses, both on the train and on the platform.

Ms Gilmer described the incident as "very upsetting and distressing for the driver and anyone who witnessed it".

"Officers were called to Slough railway station shortly before 9.45am following reports that two people had been struck by a train," she said.

"Thames Valley Police and South Central Ambulance also attended the incident and a woman and child were pronounced dead at the scene.

"The incident is currently being treated as suspicious and our detectives have launched a full investigation.

"But they do not believe there was any third-party involvement at the station.

"This is obviously a very tragic incident and our thoughts are very much with those affected."
