A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following a fatal stabbing in a park.

The man, 18, was arrested this afternoon (July 25) and remains in custody.

Milton Hurlington, 42, said to be from north west London, died after a stabbing at King Edward VII Park in Wembley last Monday (July 17).

He is understood to be of Jamaican heritage and was described by loved ones as a “loving son, father, uncle and brother”.

The latest arrest follows those of five males, all in their late teens to early 20s, who were arrested on Sunday (July 23) on suspicion of murder.

Four of the men have been bailed pending further enquiries to a date in late August, the other has been released with no further action.

All entrances to the park were closed off for two days as forensics investigators worked at the scene. Police returned to the scene of the crime last night (July 24).

Officers were called near to the Dene entrance of the park at 9.49pm to reports of a man with a stab injury.

Despite the best efforts of emergency services he died at the scene.

A post-mortem examination established cause of death as blood loss following a stab wound to the arm.

Police say they had contact with Milton earlier in the day before his death, the circumstances of which are unclear.
