An “ice cream man” who was fatally stabbed in north-West London has been named as Shazad Khan. <\/p>\n

The Metropolitan Police was called to Monks Park, Wembley, at about 18:10 BST on Tuesday, where the 41-year-old was treated for stab wounds but died at the scene.<\/p>\n

Officers arrested a woman, 31, at the scene on suspicion of conspiracy to murder, then arrested a man, 26, in the early hours of Wednesday morning and both remain in custody, the Met said.<\/p>\n

Asim Mahmood Butt, 39, a resident living in nearby Tokyngton Avenue, said Mr Khan was known for selling ice cream in the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Butt added he was childhood friends with the victim.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the scene, he said: “This guy, we know him – he’s a famous ice cream guy. He got stabbed yesterday.<\/p>\n

“I know his brothers as well – they’re all local. We all used to play cricket and football here in Monks Park.<\/p>\n

“He started (selling) ice cream about a year ago.”<\/p>\n

Mr Butt said the victim’s ice cream van, which had been parked on the road at the time of the incident, was well known locally for having a large teddy bear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A second witness, who did not want to be named, said the ice cream van was towed away from the scene in the early hours of Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

A blue forensics tent and a number of Met officers were seen inside a police cordon in Monks Park on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Removal vehicles also took away a separate white van and blue car.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Det Ch Sup Luke Williams said: “Our thoughts remain with Shazad’s family and friends at this unimaginably difficult time.<\/p>\n

“This incident will rightly cause concern across the community, but intelligence at this stage leads us to believe there is no wider threat to the public.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He appealed for anyone with information to contact police, adding there would be an increased presence in the area while investigations continue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Metropolitan Police previously reported the victim’s age was 38.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
