THREE men are due to stand trial this week for assisting three others in the murder of a 21-year-old man in Slough.
Kyron Lee was knocked from his bike in Earls Lane by a stolen black Golf on October 2 last year at about 8.50pm.
He was then chased into Waterman Close and stabbed with ‘machete-like’ weapons. He sadly died from ‘multiple stab wounds’.

Inside the vehicle were five men – three of which stood trial at Reading Crown Court, starting on June 1, charged with murder: Khalid Nur, 20, Fras Seedahmed, 18, of Slough and Mohammed Elgamri, 18, of Windsor.
The jury have only found two of those defendants, Nur and Elgamri, guilty of murder.
Prior to the trial starting, Yaqhub Mussa, 21, was also charged with murder. However, he pleaded guilty before the trial and will now be sentenced with Nur and Elgamri.
A provisional sentencing date of September 1 has been pencilled in.
A fourth man, Yakoub Tarafi, 18, was also on trial charged with two counts of assisting an offender post-murder.
The jury found him not guilty of both counts on Wednesday (July 26). He was seen wiping away tears as he was discharged from the court.
