A YOUTUBER has admitted stabbing his wife to death as she pushed their baby in a pram – but denies murder.
Kulsuma Akter, 27, was walking with the tot in Bradford, West Yorkshire, when she was attacked in April last year.
Habibur Masum appeared at Bradford Crown Court today where he admitted manslaughter and possession of a knife.
The 26-year-old has denied murder and is due to go on trial on Monday.
He also pleaded not guilty to two charges of assault, one count of making threats to kill and one charge of stalking.
Those allegations related to two days in November 23.
Masum allegedly “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 horror unfolded as Kulsuma pushed the pram near a parade of shops in the city centre.
Onlookers rushed in to try to save the mum but she tragically died in hospital shortly after.
It later emerged Primark influencer Masum, who claims to be married on social media, is the dad of her baby.
Kulsuma’s heartbroken family opened up about their devastation in the wake of her tragic death.
Her mum Monwara Begum, who lives in Bangladesh, 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.”
The 27-year-old’s brother said: “We are not even able to speak and have been crying all the time since this happened.
“We had to call our mother in Bangladesh to tell her the news. Can you imagine what this was like for us? I can’t believe my sister is dead.”
Kulsuma’s cousin Aftab Miah added that while she had died in a devastating way, the family would always remember her as a happy person.
