A man has been sentenced to life in prison for murdering his wife, Kulsuma Akter, who was stabbed to death while pushing their baby in a stroller. The attack happened while she was staying at a refuge in Bradford, highlighting the tragic escalation of domestic violence despite efforts to protect victims.
Editor’s Note: This case is a grim reminder of how dangerous domestic abuse can be, even when victims seek safety. It raises urgent questions about how systems designed to protect vulnerable people—like refuges—can fail, and what more needs to be done to prevent such tragedies. The fact that the attack happened in public, with a child present, makes it even more shocking and underscores the broader societal impact of domestic violence.
