Counter-terrorism police officers are assisting in an ongoing investigation into multiple fatal stabbings in a park in Reading.

Three people are confirmed to have died and another three are seriously injured following the attack in Forbury Gardens in the city centre on Saturday at around 7pm.

Thames Valley Police said it has launched a murder investigation and is keeping an open mind as to the motive, and although it is not currently treated as a terrorist-related incident it is being supported by colleagues from Counter-Terrorism Command.
