A controlling husband who "viciously and mercilessly" murdered his wife in a knife attack while she was pushing their baby in a pram has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 28 years.
Kulsuma Akter was left bleeding to death by 27-year-old Habibur Masum, who had stalked her to a women's refuge in Bradford and attacked her in broad daylight.
Judge condemns brutal attack
Masum was told he is "violent, self-centred, jealous, controlling and coercive" by judge Mr Justice Cotter on Tuesday as he was sentenced at the city's crown court.
The judge also told Masum: "You stole a precious young life in a brutal and merciless fashion."
Family left devastated
Ms Akter's brother Emran Hussain said her death had left her family with "such a deep, painful void in our lives".
In his sentencing remarks, the judge told Masum: "It is indeed a sad fact that it can be very difficult to entirely protect a woman in a refuge from a determined and cunning man intent on confrontation." Mr Justice Cotter said the "nature and extent" of his attack "proves beyond all reasonable doubt that you intended to kill her".
