Murder inquiry launched after man stabbed to death at Halloween party in Wembley

A murder inquiry has been launched after a 21-year-old man was stabbed to death in Wembley.

Police were called to Harrow Road in Wembley at about 1.50am on Sunday October 30 to find the man, who has not yet been named by police, with stab wounds.

The Metropolitan Police (Met) have arrested two men, whom police said were at the scene, on suspicion of murder.

A 33-year-old man remains in police custody whilst one man, aged 25, has since been released without further action.

A cordon was pictured in place outside Aura bar, in Sudbury, on Sunday with forensics teams collecting evidence from the street close by.

The bar had hosted a Halloween party and an eyewitness told them she watched paramedics perform CPR “for a long time” on the victim as they tried to save his life.

Met Police said the man was treated by London Ambulance Service (LAS) paramedics but died a short time later.

The force added a Specialist Crime Command team is leading the investigation and the dead man’s next of kin have been informed as enquiries continue.

The capital has been shocked by a series of killings and stabbings this weekend which has left five people dead.

Two men died after gunshots were heard in Brixton, just before 8pm yesterday Sunday, October 30 on Railton Road.

A murder investigation has also been launched following the death of a woman in Dagenham on Sunday evening.

Two women suffered stab wounds with one woman, believed aged in her 60s, pronounced dead at the scene and a second woman, believed to be in her 30’s, taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

The Met this morning named the victim of a fatal knife attack close to a restaurant in nearby Waterloo station on Sunday as Adrian Keise, 32, from Lambeth.

He was stabbed to death following an altercation involving two groups of men in Lower Marsh Street, close to the Cubana restaurant.

A 23-year-old man was also stabbed in Romford, east London on Sunday morning where his condition is being assessed and a man, 42, was shot in the leg in Willesden with his injuries not thought to be life-threatening.
