A man accused of murdering his wife as she pushed her baby in a pram in Bradford, is to stand trial in December.

Habibur Masum, 25, from Burnley is accused of fatally stabbing 27-year-old Kulsuma Akter, from Oldham, on 6 April.

Dressed in a grey tracksuit Mr Masum appeared at Bradford Crown Court on Friday charged with murder and possession of a bladed article.

He did not enter a plea during the 20-minute hearing, speaking only to confirm his name before being remanded into custody ahead of his trial, which is due to start on 2 December.

Ms Akter died in hospital after being attacked in the Westgate area of Bradford. Her baby was not harmed.

Mr Masum is next due to appear in court on 25 July.

Instagram confirms test of 'unskippable' ads
Instagram confirmed it's testing unskippable ads after screenshots of the feature began circulating across social media. The change would see the social network becoming more like the free version of YouTube, which requires users to view ads before and in the middle of watching videos. It makes sense that Instagram would consider going this route, too, given that it has also shifted over the years to become more of a video-sharing network, thanks to features like Stories and Reels, rather than a place to only share still photos.
