"He told Kulsuma, 'I am going to murder you, and the police will be taking me'," Mr Wood said.The next day, after coming home from work, Mr Masum went into their bedroom and held a knife to her throat, for which he was later arrested, jurors heard.At the time of the fatal stabbing, Mr Masum was subject to court bail conditions to keep away from his wife following charges of assault by beating and making a threat to kill.

The jury heard that Mr Masum had sent Ms Akter a snapchat video of Bradford Interchange eight days before the fatal attack, with a message saying he had "come to her town".Mr Wood said Mr Masum later sent another photograph, depicting the refuge where she was staying, with the words, "I know that you are living in this place."
