Chilling CCTV footage shows a killer husband with his wife as she pushed their baby in a pram before he stabbed her to death in a horrific murder – and then walking away calmly. Habibur Masum left Kulsuma Akter, 27, ‘bleeding to death in a gutter’ from a violent knife attack when he followed her to a women’s refuge she had been staying in Bradford after fleeing their family home in Oldham. Minutes later, he was seen casually walking around Bradford city centre, having abandoned their seven-month-old son. The 26-year-old was found guilty of murder on Friday (June 27), as well as one charge of assault, one count of making threats to kill and one charge of stalking. He pleaded guilty to possession of a knife in public. Footage released after his conviction shows him boarding a bus prior to killing Ms Akter, and walking calmly away from the scene after stabbing her to death. After tracking his wife through her phone location, Masum was seen on CCTV in the days leading up to the fatal attack 鈥渓oitering, watching and waiting鈥 in streets around the hostel, jurors heard. He sent Ms Akter messages threatening to kill her family members if she did not return to him, before trying to lure her out by sending fake messages from a local GP practice pretending their son had an appointment. Bradford Crown Court heard Ms Akter eventually felt safe enough to leave the refuge on April 6 last year after Masum updated his Facebook page falsely claiming to be in Spain. He confronted her as she was walking in the city centre and was seen on CCTV trying to steer her and the pram away before pulling a knife from his jacket and launching the 鈥渂rutal attack鈥 when he realised she was not coming with him, prosecutor Stephen Wood KC told jurors. CCTV footage of the attack, played during the trial, captured Ms Akter鈥檚 screams as Masum stabbed her at least 25 times, put her on the ground and kicked her 鈥渁s a final insult鈥 before lifting her head and cutting her throat.

During the trial, Masum refused to watch footage of the attack but jurors heard that during his first police interview he requested to see it, with Mr Wood saying he wanted to see what officers 鈥渉ad on him鈥. When he gave evidence through a Bengali interpreter, Masum said he did not remember killing his wife and had taken a knife with him intending to stab himself in front of her if she did not 鈥渓isten to him鈥. He broke down in tears as he claimed to have 鈥渓ost control鈥 when Ms Akter told him there would be no shortage of people willing to replace him as a father to their son. But Mr Wood said his tears 鈥渨ere as fake as his claims of self harm鈥 and that 鈥渢he only person Habibur Masum feels sorry for is himself鈥. The prosecutor said the relationship between Masum and Ms Akter was 鈥渁n abusive relationship characterised by his jealousy, possessiveness and controlling behaviour鈥. Jurors heard the couple met and married in Bangladesh, and came to the UK in 2022 after he obtained a student visa and enrolled on a Masters course to study marketing. On November 23, 2023, he became jealous over a 鈥渃ompletely innocuous鈥 message she received from a male colleague and was accused of assault by grabbing her face, slapping her and pulling her hair. He was cleared of that charge. The court heard he told her he was going to murder her, and held a knife to her throat the next day. Masum was arrested and charged over the incident, with Ms Akter deciding to leave him and being moved to the Bradford refuge by Oldham social services in January 2024. The court heard that while she was at the refuge, Masum sent her a photo of the front of the building with a message saying: 鈥淚 know that you are living in this place. I knew from the first day you moved here. 鈥淚f I had any wish to kill you, I could have from the first day. You do not know what you have lost but one day you will understand. Nobody will love you like I do.鈥 The court heard Ms Akter鈥檚 social worker arranged for her to be rehoused and she was due to move on April 8, but in the meantime she heard from Masum鈥檚 brother that he was in Spain, and 鈥渇elt safe to leave the refuge鈥 on the day she was killed. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said no officers will face action after Ms Akter contacted West Yorkshire Police a week before she was killed saying Masum had sent her death threats. The watchdog said officers were sent to the area but no suspect was found, and an intelligence report was then shared with Greater Manchester Police three days later. Masum had pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denied murder. On Friday he was found guilty of the more serious charge, as well as one charge of assault, one count of making threats to kill and one charge of stalking. He pleaded guilty to possession of a knife in public. Masum did not visibly react as the verdicts were read out. He was told by the judge Mr Justice Cotter, that he will be sentenced on July 22, when the minimum term for his life sentence will be determined.
