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.

How viewers paid more than £31,000 to see 'trash streamer' being abused during ten-days of torture before he died live on camera
Content creators who allegedly abused a French streamer on camera before he died during a live stream received more than £31,000 from viewers who encouraged his mistreatment. Raphael Graven, better known online as Jean Pormanove, was a prominent figure in France 's streaming world with over a million followers across social media. He was subjected to gruesome online challenges involving humiliation, violence, and dangerous stunts before his death. Previous streams reportedly saw Graven slapped, strangled, force-fed, doused in unpleasant liquids and targeted with a paintball gun by influencers Owen Cenazandotti, 26 and Safine Hamadi, 23. The creators of the videos allegedly received donations from viewers, who encouraged more degrading acts to be broadcast, with a fundraising counter on the video suggesting that the group had collected more than £31,000. Graven is believed to have passed away in his sleep during a live broadcast, following what friends have described as relentless 'humiliation streams'. Prosecutors in Nice confirmed they had opened an investigation into Graven's death and are conducting a post-mortem examination on Thursday. Internet users said the livestream, which was widely shared afterwards, showed Graven lying motionless under a bed cover. It has been reported that a few days before his death, Graven sent a heartbreaking final message to his mother to say he felt as if he was 'being held hostage' and admitted he was 'fed up' with the controversial streams that had become his trademark One of two men in the room with him, Cenazandotti and Hamadi, known by pseudonyms Naruto and Safine, threw a plastic water bottle in his direction. Naruto and Safine had already been questioned by police in a separate inquiry in January over claims they were mistreating vulnerable people in online events to generate payments from viewers. Graven was interviewed as a potential victim at the time but denied having suffered any violence, prosecutor Damien Martinelli said. Instead, Graven and another potential victim told police the events 'were staged and aimed at creating a buzz and earning money', he said. Graven said he made 'sums of 6,000 euros' generated by his company thanks to contracts with streaming platforms. 'Both said they were never injured, were free to come and go, and to make their own decisions,' the prosecutor said. They also declined a medical and psychiatric examination. The popular Kick creator, 46, was found dead overnight on Monday, in bed at his home in Contes, near Nice. Kick is a streaming platform similar to Twitch where people broadcast live video to an audience who can comment and donate money in real time. Graven is said to have suffered from a serious heart condition and had been broadcasting for more than 298 hours before his death, The Telegraph reports. Speaking to RTL, the streamer's mother described him as a boy 'with a big heart' and said he gained a second family living in Nice. 'He had brothers in Metz, but he found brothers in Nice, he was a family, he was invited everywhere,' she told the media company. And his sister now believes he died due to exhaustion as she says his death is 'intolerable'. 'I was very, very proud of what my brother became,' she said. 'I didn't watch everything, but I think he shouldn't have died like that, that he died of exhaustion. What he went through is unacceptable.' Canadian rapper Drake is reportedly planning to cover his funeral costs along with internet personality and online streamer Adin Ross, who boasts 6.7million followers on Instagram. Australian platform Kick said Wednesday all co-streamers involved in the event had been banned from the platform pending the outcome of the investigation. It said it was also running a 'complete re-evaluation' of its French content. The platform is seen as having less stringent user terms than those of its rival, the better-known Twitch streaming service. French prosecutors confirmed an investigation has been launched in the streamer's tragic death, with an autopsy ordered Police had been questioning witnesses and seizing evidence, including videos, prosecutor Damien Martinelli said in a statement. 'Several interviews with people present at the time of his death have been conducted without yielding leads as to its causes,' Martinelli said, adding that the autopsy would be carried out on Thursday. 'The death of Jean Pormanove and the violence he suffered are an absolute horror,' said Clara Chappaz, French junior minister for digital matters. Officials insisted that 'nothing suspicious' had yet been identified, but shocking claims from local media allege Graven endured sleep deprivation, extreme violence, and ingestion of toxic substances before the tragedy. It has been reported that a few days before his death, Graven sent a heartbreaking final message to his mother to say he felt as if he was 'being held hostage' and admitted he was 'fed up' with the controversial streams that had become his trademark. Adin announced on X on Tuesday that he and Drake will be paying for the funeral. He wrote on X: 'This is horrible and disgusting. Whoever was apart of this deserves to face severe consequences. 'I just spoke with drake. Drake and I will be covering the funeral costs, this won't bring his life back, it's the least we can do. Prayers go out to Jean's family'. Drake joined Adin, who is renowned for his collaborations with celebrities, on his YouTube livestream August 10. Naruto, announced Graven's death on Instagram, paying tribute to his 'brother, sidekick, partner'. He pleaded with fans not to share clips of the disturbing live stream, where Graven appeared unconscious before being found dead in bed. France's Minister for Digital Affairs and Artificial Intelligence, Clara Chappaz, condemned the ordeal as an 'absolute horror' and said platforms must do more to protect vulnerable creators. Sarah El Haïry, the High Commissioner for Children, described the tragedy as 'horrifying', warning parents to remain vigilant about the violent content children can access online. Kick, the streaming platform where Jeanpormanove built his following, said it was 'deeply saddened' by his death and promised to urgently review the circumstances. 'We are urgently reviewing the circumstances and collaborating with relevant stakeholders. Kick's community guidelines are designed to protect creators, and we are committed to enforcing them across our platform,' a spokesperson told AFP. The case has shone a harsh spotlight on the murky world of 'humiliation streams' in France, where creators allegedly endure extreme abuse for views and donations.
