Habibur Masum had denied murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter and possession of a bladed article
A man who stabbed his wife to death in front of their infant son after tracking her to a refuge has been found guilty of murder.
Habibur Masum stabbed Kulsuma Akter more than 25 times after confronting her in Bradford city centre in April 2024. The baby was unharmed.
Bradford Crown Court heard Ms Akter, 27, had been living in a refuge in the city since January, after Masum had previously assaulted her at their home in Oldham.
Masum, 26, of Leamington Avenue in Burnley, had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and possession of a bladed article but was convicted of murder after a trial.
His trial heard Ms Akter left the hostel to meet a friend on the day of the attack in the belief that Masum was away in Spain.
However, he later confronted her in the street having tracking her through her phone location.
