Habibur Masum launched a “ferocious” attack on Kulsuma Akter after tracking her to a women’s refuge.

He left her bleeding to death in the gutter before walking away without their seven-month-old son.

A court heard Masum, 26, followed Ms Akter, 27, to Bradford where she had fled to escape him after he held a knife to her throat at their home in Oldham, Greater Manchester.

Confronted

Masum was seen on CCTV in the days before the murder “loitering, watching and waiting” in streets around the hostel, jurors heard.
