Detectives have named the victim of a shocking stabbing in north-west London as 41-year-old Shazad Khan.
Tragic Scene at Monks Park, Wembley
Police were called to Monks Park, Wembley, at around 6:10pm on Tuesday 19 August following reports of an altercation. Paramedics from the London Ambulance Service rushed to the scene, but sadly, Shazad Khan was pronounced dead there.
His family has been informed and is now receiving support from specially trained officers.
Two Suspects Held
Early next morning, officers arrested a 26-year-old man on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody as investigations continue.
A 31-year-old woman was also detained at the scene on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. She too is being held by police.
Police Assure Public as Investigation Intensifies
Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams, local policing commander for north-west London, said:
“Our thoughts remain with Shazad’s family and friends at this unimaginably difficult time. 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.
Detectives are conducting a thorough and fast-paced investigation, and locals can expect to see an uptick in police presence in the area.”
