A man who stabbed his wife to death in front of their baby after tracking her to a refuge told a doctor he 'felt like he would kill her' more than a year before the fatal attack, a court heard.

Kulsuma Akter, 27, was killed by her husband Habibur Masum, 26, after he confronted her in the street while she was pushing their seven-month-old son in a pram on April 6 last year.

Masum tracked Ms Akter to a refuge in Bradford, where she had been staying since January 2024, a trial has heard.

She had moved to the refuge after Masum allegedly held a knife to her throat during an assault at their home in Oldham in November 2023.

Giving evidence at Bradford Crown Court on Tuesday, Masum said the couple met and married in Bangladesh, and came to the UK in 2022 after he obtained a student visa and enrolled on a Masters course to study Marketing.
