Metropolitan Police Detectives have named the man fatally stabbed in north-west London earlier this week.

41-year-old Shazad Khan died from stab wounds, after reports of a fight in Monks Park, Wembley just after 6pm on Tuesday night.

Officers say his family are being supported.

A 26-year-old man remains in custody, arrested on suspicion of murder, alongside a 31-yeasr-old woman who was detained at the scene on suspicion on conspiracy to murder.

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."

An urgent appeal for information and footage is underway.
