A man has admitted to killing his wife while she pushed their baby in a pram along a high street.
Kulsuma Akter, 27, was stabbed to death on Wigan Street, Bradford, in April last year, as she pushed a pram with a baby, who was unharmed.
Her husband Habibur Masum, a Youtuber, has admitted to manslaughter but denied murder.
He is facing trial on Monday, and is also charged with two counts of assault by beating and one charge of stalking.
Kulsuma was taken to hospital and later died from her injuries, while Masum was arrested 170 miles away in Aylesbury.

Monwara Begum, Kulsuma’s mum, said she has been left ‘heartbroken’ over her youngest daughter’s death.
She 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.’
Bradford Crown Court heard the allegations of assault and threats to kill relate to two days in November 23.
He ‘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 charge alleges he caused her ‘alarm or distress’ and to ‘fear that violence would be used against her’.
