Husband spotted 'smiling' on bus after stabbing wife to death found guilty of murder
BRADFORD, WEST YORKSHIRE, JUN 27 – Masum tracked his wife to a refuge and stabbed her over 25 times, abandoning their baby; he was convicted of murder and related charges after a trial.
- In April 2024, Habibur Masum tracked down his wife, Kulsuma Akter, to a refuge in Bradford city centre where she was staying with their infant son, and stabbed her repeatedly—inflicting over 25 wounds—resulting in her death.
- The attack followed a history of controlling and violent behaviour, including Masum threatening her, assaulting her, and sending fake messages to lure her out of the refuge.
- CCTV footage captured Masum confronting Ms Akter and trying to grab hold of the pram to pull her along before drawing a knife and stabbing her multiple times when she refused to leave with him.
- Masum, 26, admitted to causing death by unlawful act and carrying a bladed weapon but rejected the murder charge, stating he intended to harm himself if his wife did not comply and lost control; however, he was ultimately convicted of murder along with additional offenses including assault, making threats, and stalking.
- Masum was apprehended in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, nearly 150 miles from the original location, following a four-day search; he faces a life sentence, underscoring the grave dangers victims encounter despite protective measures and relocation to safe houses.
