Husband who killed wife in knife attack as she pushed pram jailed for life

Yahoo2 days ago
A controlling husband who 'viciously and mercilessly' murdered his wife in a knife attack while she was pushing their baby in a pram has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 28 years.
Kulsuma Akter was left bleeding to death by 27-year-old Habibur Masum, who had stalked her to a women's refuge in Bradford and attacked her in broad daylight.
Masum, 27, was told he is 'violent, self-centred, jealous, controlling and coercive' by judge Mr Justice Cotter on Tuesday as he was sentenced at the city's crown court.
The judge also told Masum: 'You stole a precious young life in a brutal and merciless fashion.'
Ms Akter's brother Emran Hussain said her death had left her family with 'such a deep, painful void in our lives'.
In his sentencing remarks, the judge told Masum: 'It is indeed a sad fact that it can be very difficult to entirely protect a woman in a refuge from a determined and cunning man intent on confrontation.'
Mr Justice Cotter said the 'nature and extent' of his attack 'proves beyond all reasonable doubt that you intended to kill her'.
