Husband spotted 'smiling' on bus after stabbing wife to death found guilty of murder

  • Habibur Masum, aged 26, was found guilty on Friday of murdering his wife Kulsuma Akter, 27, in Bradford city centre in April 2024 after stabbing her more than 25 times.
  • The attack followed Ms Akter moving to a refuge in Bradford to escape Masum's controlling and jealous behaviour, including him holding a knife to her throat and sending death threats.
  • Masum tracked Ms Akter through her phone, confronted her while she was pushing their infant son in a pram, pulled a knife from his jacket, and stabbed her repeatedly.
  • Masum admitted to manslaughter and carrying a knife but rejected the charge of murder, explaining that he had planned to end his own life in front of his wife and stated that he lost control during the incident.
  • Masum faces a life sentence after also being convicted of assault, making threats to kill, and stalking, demonstrating a history of abusive and violent behaviour towards Ms Akter.
