A man has been charged with murder after the death of a cyclist in Reading.

Vignesh Raman, aged 38, was declared dead at the Royal Berkshire Hospital after he was hit by a vehicle on Addington Road after his bike was involved in a crash with a vehicle.

Shazeb Khalid, 24, of no fixed abode, has been charged with murder. He is due to appear at Reading Magistrates' Court.

Police said seven other men from Reading, aged between 20 and 48, who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, have all been released on bail.

"Our thoughts remain with the family of Mr. Raman, who are being supported by specially trained officers.
