A husband who 'ferociously' stabbed his wife to death in front of their seven-month-old baby vowed to 'kill her if she ever left him', a court has heard.
Kulsuma Akter, 27, suffered more than 25 knife injuries during the attack by Habibur Masum, 26, when he confronted her while she pushed the infant in a pram.
Masum tracked Ms Akter to a refuge in Bradford, where she had been staying since January 2024 after he held a knife to her throat at their home in Oldham.
Today, Ms Akter's sister-in-law said during their marriage Masum had stopped her wearing make-up and checked her phone to see who she was talking to.
A statement from Minara Begum read in court explained Ms Akter had to ask permission from her husband before going out.
