LONDON MAN JAILED FOR LIFE AFTER MURDERING WIFE IN FRONT OF CHILD

A man who stabbed his wife in front of their two-year-old son and left him with the body has been jailed for life.

Sheikh Shahidul Islam, 35, attacked Rushna Begum, 28, at their home in Devas Street, Bromley-by-Bow, east London, in May, the Old Bailey heard.

Islam then fled to his relatives' house leaving their youngest of two sons with the body.

He pleaded guilty to murder.

The killer, who the court heard was a gambler, was sentenced to a minimum of 14-and-a-half years in prison.

The court heard that their 10-year marriage began to break down in 2009 because of Islam's gambling as he had lost up to £90,000 over the years.

This included the profits from the sale of his takeaway shop and the sales of his wife's jewellery and car.

Prosecutor Peter Kyte QC said the couple had debts of more than £30,000 and had been taken to court by creditors in 2011.
