Man charged with murder after ice cream seller stabbed to death
A man has been charged with murder after an ice cream seller was stabbed to death in north-west London. Shazad Khan, 41, was pronounced dead at the scene after officers responded to reports of an altercation in Monks Park in Wembley at 6.10pm on Tuesday. Zaher Zaarour, 26, of Brent in north-west London, has been charged with murder and possession of a bladed article, the Metropolitan Police announced on Thursday. He is due to appear at Willesden Magistrates' Court on Friday. A 31-year-old woman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of conspiracy to murder – but has been bailed pending further inquiries, the force said. Detective Chief Inspector Paul Waller said: 'I would like to thank the community for their help and support during this investigation. 'Residents can expect to see an increase of officers in the local area over the next coming days as the investigation continues.' Local residents told the PA news agency that Mr Khan was well known in the area for selling ice creams in a van. Asim Mahmood Butt, 39, who lives in nearby Tokyngton Avenue, said he was childhood friends with the victim. Speaking at the scene on Wednesday, he said: '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. '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 Mr Khan was married and had a young daughter. The 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.

Police arrest jockey over alleged assault of a fellow rider which left them with ‘serious injuries'
POLICE have arrested an apprentice jockey after they allegedly assaulted a fellow rider, leaving them with 'serious facial injuries'. The jockey, who is 21 and based in Newmarket, has been placed on bail until November while Suffolk Police continue their investigation. 1 Earlier this month, cops were called to an address in Exning, near Newmarket, following reports of an assault. A man in his 20s, understood to be another apprentice jockey, required hospital treatment with what police described as 'serious facial injuries', though no arrests were made at that point in time. Suffolk Police said in statement sent to the Sun on August 7: "Police were called 5.07pm on 4 August to reports a man aged in their 20s had been assaulted the previous night in Exning near Newmarket and had attended hospital with serious facial injuries. "Police investigating. Currently no arrests. Anyone with any information is asked to contact police quoting crime reference 37/43761/25." On Thursday, police issued a second statement which said: 'A 21-year-old man was arrested on 18 August on suspicion of assault (GBH). He was subsequently bailed to return to police on 18 November. The investigation continues.' Police policy is neither to confirm nor deny the identity of any individual before the point at which a charge is issued. The Crown Prosecution Service defines GBH as "really serious harm. The harm does not have to be either permanent or dangerous" and, if found guilty, perpetrators can face jail sentences.
