A 41-year-old man named Shazad Khan was stabbed to death in Monks Park, Wembley, north-west London. His family have been informed and a murder investigation has been launched. A 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and a 31-year-old woman was arrested for conspiracy to murder; both remain in custody. Local residents identified Khan as a well-known ice cream seller who operated a van decorated with a large teddy bear. One local described that Khan was stabbed eight times by a man wearing a grey hoodie. A blue forensics tent was present and removal vehicles took away additional vehicles.
I got a call from one of my cousins. This guy, we know him he's a famous ice cream guy. He got stabbed yesterday. I came here and his body was still here, and police had cordoned off the area. We don't know the reason why, but all that we know is that a guy with a grey hoodie stabbed him eight times. That's what I've been told.
I know his brothers as well they're all local. We all used to play cricket and football here in Monks Park. He started (selling) ice cream about a year ago. Mr Butt said the victim was married and had a young daughter. 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, the witness added.
