A man who murdered his wife in front of their infant son has been jailed for life.
Kulsuma Akter, 27, had been living in a refuge in Bradford when she was fatally stabbed by her husband, Habibur Masum, as she pushed their seven-month-old baby in a pram through the city centre in April last year. The child was unharmed.
Last month, Masum, 27, of Leamington Avenue, Burnley, was convicted of murder following a trial at Bradford Crown Court.
Sentencing him at the same court on Tuesday to a minimum 28 years, the judge, Mr Justice Cotter, told Masum he “viciously and mercilessly” attacked Ms Akter, stabbing her 26 times.
