New inquest date set into wife murdered in street
A further inquest hearing into the death of a woman who was murdered by her husband in Bradford city centre has been set. Habibur Masum, 26, repeatedly stabbed 27-year-old Kulsuma Akter after confronting her while she pushed their seven-month-old son in a pram on 6 April 2024. Masum was found guilty of her murder on Friday after a three-week trial at Bradford Crown Court. The inquest into his wife's death opened on 12 April 2024 but was suspended until the criminal proceedings concluded. At Bradford Coroner's Court on Monday, assistant coroner Angela Brocklehurst set a new hearing date of 29 July. Ms Brocklehurst said that due to "the wishes of the family of the deceased" the new hearing would take place "for further consideration". Masum, of Leamington Avenue in Burnley, had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and possession of a bladed article but was convicted of murder after a trial. He was also convicted of one count of assault by beating, making a threat to kill and stalking. Ms Akter had been living in a refuge in the city since January after Masum held a knife to her throat at their home in Oldham. Masum later confronted her in the city centre having tracked her through her phone location. He pulled a knife from his jacket and stabbed her more than 25 times after she refused to go with him. Masum has been remanded in custody to be sentenced on 22 July. Listen to highlights from West Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.
