A man wanted on suspicion of the murder of an Oldham mum in Bradford was captured in chilling CCTV footage just moments after the fatal stabbing.
The footage, released by West Yorkshire Police, showed Habibur Masum walking down a street on Saturday (April 6) moments after 27-year-old Kulsuma Akter was stabbed to death in the Westgate area. Masum, who is also from Oldham, remains wanted on suspicion of the murder of the mum with a huge manhunt underway to track him down.
Ms Akter was pushing her baby in a pram at the time she was fatally stabbed. Despite the efforts of medics, she died in hospital.

Her child was unharmed in the incident, police have said. Last night, it was revealed that Masum, 25, was already on bail for allegedly assaulting and threatening to kill her.
Court documents revealed he was conditionally bailed by Manchester Magistrates’ Court in November of last year. Masum, whose address was listed as Oldham, Greater Manchester, was charged with threatening to kill Ms Akter on November 24 and assaulting her on November 23.
Both offences were alleged to have happened in Manchester. Masum pleaded not guilty to both offences at a hearing on November 27 last year and was ordered not to contact Ms Akter, it is understood.
His bail conditions also prevented him from contacting a second person, or visiting a particular address. Both West Yorkshire Police and Greater Manchester Police have since referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct watchdog over previous contact with Masum and Ms Akter.
Police had confirmed they were both known to each other. As well as Oldham, Masum also links
