A man who was stabbed to death in Wembley has been named by police. Shazad Khan was found with fatal stab wounds in Monks Park at about 6.10pm yesterday evening (Tuesday, August 19).
The Metropolitan Police was called to the scene following reports of an altercation. The 41-year-old was initially treated by paramedics but died at the scene shortly afterwards.
His family are being supported by specialist officers. An investigation was launched following the fatal attack which led to a 26-year-old man being arrested on suspicion of murder in the early hours of Wednesday morning (August 20).
He remains in police custody, along with a woman, aged 31, who was arrested at the scene on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams 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. Anyone with any information – particularly dashcam or doorbell footage from the time of the incident – is urged to speak to us as a matter of urgency.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the Met via 101, or online, quoting 6174/19AUG. Alternatively, people can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
