The third victim of the Reading knife attacks has been named locally as David Wails, a scientist and LGBTQ+ community supporter.
Michael Main, a friend, described David as person who “always made people smile. We had a lot of banter, it’s sad to know he’s gone so early.”James Furlong, a local teacher of history and his friend Joe Ritchie-Bennett, who worked for a Dutch pharmaceutical company, have also died.
