Woman Stabbed More than 25 Times in Attack While Pushing Baby in Pram, Court Told

  • On April 6 last year in Bradford, Habibur Masum attacked his estranged wife Kulsuma Akter while she pushed their seven-month-old baby in a pram.
  • In January, Ms Akter relocated to a safe house in Bradford to escape Masum’s abusive, jealous, and controlling behavior after reporting his assaults and threats to the police.
  • During the attack, Masum stabbed Ms Akter at least 26 times, causing fatal injuries including a wound to her neck that penetrated her windpipe and a major vein.
  • Prosecutor Stephen Wood KC described Masum’s action as a “ferocious and deadly attack” after Masum tracked and confronted Ms Akter near her refuge, while Masum denies murder but admits manslaughter and knife possession.
  • The case, heard at Bradford Crown Court, highlights the fatal outcomes of domestic violence and Masum’s plea suggests a complex legal process ahead with denied charges of assault and threats.
