Man admits killing wife while she pushed pram in the street

Habibur Masum has pleaded guilty to killing his wife as she pushed a baby in a pram (Picture: PA) A man has admitted to killing his wife while she pushed their baby in a pram along a high street. Kulsuma Akter, 27, was stabbed to death on Wigan Street, Bradford, in April last year, as she pushed a pram with a baby, who was unharmed. Her husband Habibur Masum, a Youtuber, has admitted to manslaughter but denied murder. He is facing trial on Monday, and is also charged with two counts of assault by beating and one charge of stalking. Kulsuma was taken to hospital and later died from her injuries, while Masum was arrested 170 miles away in Aylesbury after a three day man hunt.

Kulsuma had moved from Bangladesh to England to be with her husband Monwara Begum, Kulsuma's mum, said she has been left 'heartbroken' over her youngest daughter's death. She said: 'I am in shock. She was my youngest daughter and I adored her greatly. 'When she moved to the United Kingdom I was alone, but Kulsuma would call me every day by video. The only day I didn't hear from her was the day she was attacked.' Bradford Crown Court heard the allegations of assault and threats to kill relate to two days in November 23. He 'tracked her movements and located her at a safe house, sent her messages of a menacing nature which contained threats to kill another and photos and videos of the area and premises where she was residing'. He is also alleged to have 'loitered in the area of her temporary residence'. The charge alleges he caused her 'alarm or distress' and to 'fear that violence would be used against her'. Got a story?

Women wakes up inside her own coffin after coroner declared her dead

The 88-year-old was placed inside the coffin (Picture: Getty Images) An 88-year-old woman was nearly buried alive after she woke up inside a coffin. The pensioner was found seemingly unresponsive by her husband, 87, on Friday morning at their home in Pilsen, Czech Republic. Assuming she was dead, he called for emergency services, who promptly dispatched a coroner to the scene. 'She wasn't moving, she wasn't breathing,' he told Nedělní Blesk. A coroner was first dispatched before an ambulance came when she was discovered alive (Picture: Michael Nguyen/NurPhoto via Getty Images) Sign up for all of the latest stories Start your day informed with Metro's News Updates newsletter or get Breaking News alerts the moment it happens. The coroner pitched up and declared the elderly retiree dead, but the undertakers then arrived to find quite the opposite. After the 'dead' lady was placed in the coffin, she opened her eyes and started breathing. Reports in Czech media are conflicted as to whether the pensioner suddenly opened her eyes in the coffin or whether workers realised she was still breathing. Either way, she was alive and the pensioner was taken to the hospital, where she is still being treated. The woman's husband added: 'The [funeral services] workers put her in a coffin, and when they were right here, they found out that she was alive. The incident happened in the picturesque town of Pilsen (Picture: Getty Images) 'It's serious. I'm completely unhappy about it.' Police have said it is now investigating possible misconduct by the coroner. The coroner's, 1 Koronerská, apologised profusely for the mix-up and said three times in the past they had received calls to say a person was dead, but they turned out alive. This is also not the first time someone has 'come back from the dead'. Morgue workers in a crematorium in Jhunjhunu City, India were shocked when a supposedly dead man began breathing in a crematorium in Jhunjhunu City, India in November last year. Footage showed Rohitash wrapped in a blanket, opening his eyes and looking dazed. An ambulance was quickly called to take him to Rajkiya Bhagwan Das Khetan (BDK) Hospital, where he later died.
