New inquest date set into wife murdered in street
A further inquest hearing into the death of a woman who was murdered by her husband in Bradford city centre has been set. Habibur Masum, 26, repeatedly stabbed 27-year-old Kulsuma Akter after confronting her while she pushed their seven-month-old son in a pram on 6 April 2024. Masum was found guilty of her murder on Friday after a three-week trial at Bradford Crown Court. The inquest into his wife's death opened on 12 April 2024 but was suspended until the criminal proceedings concluded. At Bradford Coroner's Court on Monday, assistant coroner Angela Brocklehurst set a new hearing date of 29 July. Ms Brocklehurst said that due to "the wishes of the family of the deceased" the new hearing would take place "for further consideration". Masum, of Leamington Avenue in Burnley, had pleaded guilty to manslaughter and possession of a bladed article but was convicted of murder after a trial. He was also convicted of one count of assault by beating, making a threat to kill and stalking. Ms Akter had been living in a refuge in the city since January after Masum held a knife to her throat at their home in Oldham. Masum later confronted her in the city centre having tracked her through her phone location. He pulled a knife from his jacket and stabbed her more than 25 times after she refused to go with him. Masum has been remanded in custody to be sentenced on 22 July. Listen to highlights from West Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.

Brad Pitt's LA Home ‘Ransacked' In Alleged Burglary Attempt — Report
's home in LA has reportedly been 'ransacked' during a burglary while he has been away on an international press tour for his new film 'F1.' The shocking incident took place on June 25. According to a report, the three suspects are yet to be identified and remain at large. Amid the press tour, Pitt attended an event for his latest film in Tokyo, Japan. The actor is the latest victim in a string of celebrity home burglaries in recent times in Los Angeles. PEOPLE learned from the Los Angeles Police Department that there was a burglary at Brad Pitt's home in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. The alleged incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The three suspects reportedly 'broke into the residence via the front window.' The police said that they 'ransacked the location' and then 'fled' the scene with 'miscellaneous property.' All three burglars who broke into Pitt's property have not been publicly identified. It is also unclear at the time of writing how much of Pitt's stuff was taken by the suspects. The incident comes amid a wave of high-end burglaries in LA. In February, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's Los Angeles home was burglarized. At the time, it was reported that burglars allegedly smashed a glass door or window to break into the property. Last year, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's home was also burglarized. Meanwhile, Pitt was not at his home at the time when the alleged burglary took place. It comes amid the 61-year-old actor taking over several stops for the international press tour of his latest film, 'F1.' On Wednesday, the day of the burglary, Pitt was seen at an event in Tokyo, Japan. Before this, he attended the European premiere of 'F1' in London, England, on June 23. Pitt's girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, also joined him at the event. The post Brad Pitt's LA Home 'Ransacked' In Alleged Burglary Attempt — Report appeared first on Reality Tea.

What is a jury supposed to make of the Diddy trial?
The trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs was a sprawling odyssey into the perverse desires of the rich and famous, six weeks of learning more than any of us wanted to know about baby oil, escort payments and the not-insubstantial administrative skills required to arrange an orgy. Much of it felt like a testament to the fact that literally nothing is less sexy than sex — at least, not once when you turn on the black light and examine the mess it left behind. The general manager of L'Ermitage Beverly Hills, a luxury hotel, got on the stand and read from internal notes specifying that Combs's room, after one stay, should be placed 'out of order' for a 'deep cleaning.' Another hotel worker testified that Combs was fined $1,000 for 'oil damage.' Great Gatsby's parties, these were not. Combs's freak-offs left behind pain, disgust and charges on racketeering and sex trafficking to be adjudicated in a court of law.
