Habibur Masum killed Kulsuma Akter as she pushed their baby in pram after she had escaped to women’s refuge
A “violent, jealous and controlling” man who stabbed his wife to death after tracking her and their baby son to a women’s refuge has been found guilty of her murder.
Habibur Masum, 26, launched the “ferocious” attack on 27-year-old Kulsuma Akter as she pushed their baby in a pram, and then walked away leaving her “bleeding to death in the gutter”.
Akter had fled to a refuge to escape his “violence, jealousy and controlling behaviour”, Bradford crown court heard, but Masum tracked her down and confronted her on the street in Bradford, West Yorkshire, on 6 April 2024.
He stabbed Akter more than 25 times after finding her through her phone’s location. Masum was seen on CCTV in the days leading up to the attack “loitering, watching and waiting” in streets around the refuge, jurors were told.
