Two men charged with attempted murder in Slough

Two men have been charged with attempted murder following a firearms incident in Slough. Kian Rahelu, 20, and Lenny Morten, 19, face charges of attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

Thames Valley Police responded to an incident in the Pentland Road and Pennine Road area of Slough on 19 June. Officers attended after a man in his 20s presented at hospital with injuries to his arm sustained during the incident.

Both men have been remanded in custody pending court proceedings. They are due to appear at Reading Crown Court to answer the charges against them.

The incident marks a serious firearms-related crime in the Berkshire area. The charges reflect the severity of the alleged offences, with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life carrying significant potential penalties under English law alongside the attempted murder allegation.

The swift police response and charging of the two suspects represents the conclusion of the initial investigation phase, with the case now moving into the judicial system. The remand in custody indicates that magistrates determined the men should not be released pending trial.
