Police are continuing their investigations in Reading after a man died last night.

A Section 60 order was put in place last night (Saturday, February 6) after a 26-year-old man sustained multiple injuries and died.

Thames Valley Police previously said the victim is 25-years-old.

As of tonight, they have confirmed that his age is 26-years-old.

Emergency services were called to Dulnan Close, Tilehurst at about 6.55pm following reports of a fight.

As police believe an act of serious violence could happen again, a new Section 60 order has since been authorised to run until 9pm tomorrow (Monday, February 8).

Police said another Section 60 extension may be possible.

The order applies to the whole Local Policing Area of Reading as outlined in the map provided.

Superintendent Nick John, Reading Local Policing Area Commander, said: “The investigation into what happened in Dulnan Close is still in its early stages, and we have a large number of officers and staff deployed to this investigation.

“The Section 60 order was authorised yesterday following this tragic incident, and I have approved an extension for a further 24 hours this evening until 9pm tomorrow evening, where this will be reviewed again.

“Under this order, our officers have been given authority to use their powers to help the police prevent further serious violence, and we do not take decisions to enact them lightly.

“This will understandably cause concern in the local community, but I would like for members of the public to be reassured that this order is in place to prevent any re-occurrence of such incidents.

“During the period in which the order is in place, there will be an increase of police officers.

“Using these increased powers, officers are able to stop and search anybody within a defined area while it is activated, with or without reasonable grounds to do so.

“Please don’t be worried if you are stopped by an officer, as this does not mean that you are in trouble.

“Do not hesitate to speak to one of our officers with any concerns that you may have. They will be happy to address these with you and also offer any advice or reassurance.”
