A \u2018famous\u2019 ice cream man has been stabbed to death in north west London<\/a>. <\/p>\n The man, 38, was stabbed yesterday evening in Monks Park, Wembley<\/a>.<\/p>\n He was treated at the scene but was declared dead soon after ambulance crews arrived at 6.15pm<\/p>\n Police arrested a 26-year-old man on suspicion of murder early Wednesday, and a 31-year-old woman was arrested for conspiracy to murder at the scene.<\/p>\n Local resident Asim Mahmood Butt, 39, said the married man and father-of-one was a \u2018famous ice cream guy\u2019 in the Tokyngton neighbourhood. <\/p>\n His van, known for having a large teddy bear in the passenger seat, had been parked at the side of the road at the time of the stabbing, Asim said.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t He claimed that the victim, who started selling cold treats last year, was stabbed \u2018eight times\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2018We don\u2019t know the reason why, but all that we know is that a guy with a grey hoodie stabbed him eight times. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve been told,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n \u2018I know his brothers as well \u2013 they\u2019re all local. We all used to play cricket and football here in Monks Park.\u2019<\/p>\n A witness, who does not want to be named, said the van was towed away from the scene in the early hours today.<\/p>\n Detective Chief Inspector Paul Waller said: \u2018Our thoughts remain with the victim\u2019s family and friends at this hugely difficult time. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\tLatest London news\t\t\t<\/p>\n To get the latest news from the capital visit Metro’s<\/strong> London news hub<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2018Detectives are still working at pace to understand the circumstances around this sad event.\u2019<\/p>\n Got a story?
