Teen Murderer Jailed for Life Over Slough Stabbing
Life Behind Bars for Mohammed Hussain
Mohammed Hussain, 18, from Benjamin Lane, Slough, has been handed a life sentence with a minimum of 19 years after being found guilty of murder. The verdict came after a majority jury trial at Reading Crown Court on Friday, 24 July.
Deadly Fight Ends in Tragedy
The conviction stems from a violent incident on the evening of 4 January 2020 in Benjamin Lane, Wexham, Slough. Hussain and 18-year-old Mohammed Aman Ashraq got into a physical altercation around 7.50pm, during which Hussain stabbed Ashraq in the back with a hunting knife.
Despite emergency treatment by South Central Ambulance Service paramedics and a rushed trip to Wexham Park Hospital, Ashraq was pronounced dead later that night. A post-mortem confirmed the cause of death as a stab wound.
Family Mourns Lost Son
“On 4 January, we lost our loving son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend. It still feels like yesterday that he was with us, joking and laughing around. He was the glue in our family and held us all together.”
