Manhunt launched after mum pushing pram stabbed to death in broad daylight..by Jon Macpherson & Andrew Nuttall.i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/04/07/13/83331207-13281111-Officers_are_appealing_for_members_of_the_public_to_report_any_s-m-45_1712493555180.jpgPolice are hunting for Habibur MasumMurder detectives have launched a manhunt after a mum was stabbed to death whilst pushing a pram. Habibur Masum is wanted in connection with the fatal stabbing of a woman in the Westgate area of Bradford city centre on Saturday afternoon (April 6). Police have issued a 'do not approach' warning and released a picture and CCTV image of the 25-year-old suspect. Reports suggest that the woman was stabbed four times in the neck while she was pushing a pram with a baby boy inside. Emergency services rushed to Westgate at the junction with Drewton Road at 3.21pm yesterday following reports of a woman being stabbed by a man who then fled but she later died in hospital. The victim has yet to be formally identified, but is understood to be 27-years-old, according to the police. A knife was recovered from the scene of the incident, reports Lancs Live. Masum, from the Oldham area, is described as an Asian man of slim build. He was captured on CCTV wearing a duffle coat with three large horizontal lines of grey, white and black, light blue or grey tracksuit bottoms with a small black emblem on one pocket and maroon trainers. Geo Khan, a 69-year-old greengrocer, said that he saw the victim lying face down on the pavement. He added: "I turned her over. There was a lot of blood and I checked for a pulse, but couldn't find one." "I could see the knife wounds to her neck and I tried to do CPR. Her friend, who had gone into the Westgate International Food store when the attack happened was screaming. A doctor was passing in a car and stopped to help." Detective Chief Inspector Stacey Atkinson, of West Yorkshire Police's Homicide and Enquiry Team, said: "We have had significant resources following up a number of lines of enquiry to locate Habibur Masum but at this time his whereabouts are unknown. A knife was recovered from the scene of the murder, but we cannot say if Habibur Masum is armed, and I would urge anyone who does see him not to approach him but to call 999 immediately. "If anyone has any information about his movements or whereabouts since 3:20pm on Saturday please contact police as a matter of urgency. We understand that the murder of a young woman in such shocking circumstances has caused considerable concern in the local community. "Residents can expect to continue to see a significant police presence in Bradford as we make further enquiries and conduct reassurance patrols in the area." Current sightings of Habibur Masum should be immediately reported to West Yorkshire Police via 999. Any other information that could assist the investigation should be relayed through Live Chat online or by calling 101, quoting log 1071 of April 6th. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/04/07/12/83329949-13280977-image-a-5_1712488354763.jpg

Update to the above item: Bradford stabbing: Mother's death prompts nationwide manhunt..By Victoria Scheer, BBC News.
Every police force in the country is looking for a man suspected of fatally stabbing a mother who was pushing her baby in a pram, officials said.
Habibur Masum, 25, is wanted after a 27-year-old woman was attacked in the Westgate area of Bradford on Saturday.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed the baby was not harmed in the attack.
West Yorkshire's deputy mayor for policing and crime said Mr Masum was known to the victim and was considered "very dangerous".
Speaking to BBC Radio 4 on Monday, Alison Lowe said: "Habibur Masum is still at large.
"There is a very complex investigation currently ongoing with all forces in the country trying to locate the suspect.
"We don't think this was a random killing, the police know the two people were known to each other."
Anyone who sees Mr Masum is urged not to approach him and to phone 999 immediately.
Mr Masum, who is described as Asian and of a slim build, is from the Oldham area and is believed to have links to the Burnley and Chester areas.
CCTV footage appears to show him wearing a duffle coat with three large horizontal lines of grey, white and black, light blue or grey tracksuit bottoms with a small black emblem on the left pocket and maroon trainers.
Officers said a knife was recovered from the scene but could not confirm whether Mr Masum was armed.
'Shocked and distressed'
A large police presence was reported in Bradford's city centre over the weekend following the woman's death.
Ms Lowe said people in the community were "shocked and distressed" by what had happened.
She added: "The reason I'm speaking today is to give reassurance to that community that everything is being done to locate this suspect and to reassure them that these incidents are really rare.
"This was someone who knew the victim and is highly unlikely to be a risk to anybody else in Bradford or wider West Yorkshire."
The victim has not yet been formally identified but police said her family had been informed and was being supported by officers.

Update to the above item: Kulsama Akter - Bradford stab victim named as Habibur Masum manhunt continues..By Oli Constable & David Spereall, BBC News.
A mother who was fatally stabbed to death while pushing her baby in a pram in Bradford has been named as 27-year-old Kulsama Akter from Oldham.
Ms Akter was attacked in the Westgate area on Saturday. Her baby was not harmed, West Yorkshire Police said.
Officers said murder suspect Habibur Masum, 25, remained at large but said a 23-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Police said anyone who sees Mr Masum should call 999 "immediately".
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Assistant Chief Constable Damien Miller said Ms Akter died after being stabbed "multiple times". He said the baby was "fit and well".
He said the killing had caused a "great deal of shock and concern, not only in Bradford, but across the whole country".
Raids have taken place in Oldham, where Ms Akter and Mr Masum were both from, as well as in the Burnley and Chester areas, he said, but would not confirm where the 23-year-old man had been arrested.
Ms Akter was found seriously injured when officers were called to Westgate at about 15:21 BST near to the junction with Drewton Road. She was taken to hospital for treatment but later died.
After the attack Mr Masum was seen on CCTV getting on a bus at about 15:30 BST, police said.
ACC Miller said the suspect got off the bus in Killinghall Road at about 15:42 and walked in the direction of Bradford Moor Park.
He said this was "the last confirmed sighting" of Mr Masum.
He appealed for any taxis drivers who may have picked up Mr Masum on Saturday afternoon to come forward, saying that he would have "most likely paid in cash".
"I believe Masum is still in the country at this moment in time," ACC Miller added.
West Yorkshire Police and Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have both referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct as both forces had prior contact with the victim and Mr Masum.
Police have previously said Ms Akter and Mr Masum were known to each other, but have not confirmed the nature of their relationship.
Det Supt Jude Holmes from GMP Oldham district said: "We share the shock and concern that our communities feel in the wake of this tragic incident, and our thoughts are with Kulsama Akter's family at this truly distressing time."
She said the force had provided "specialist officers" to support the search for Mr Masum.
"I urge members of the public to remain vigilant, and if you have any information on his whereabouts, call 999 as a matter of urgency," she said.

Update on the above item: Bradford stabbing: Murder suspect was on bail accused of threats to kill..
A man suspected of stabbing a woman to death in Bradford city centre was on bail accused of assaulting and threatening to kill her.
A manhunt is under way for Habibur Masum, 25, who is wanted on suspicion of murdering Kulsuma Akter, 27.
She was pushing her baby in a pram when she was attacked on Saturday.
Mr Masum was bailed by magistrates in November after being charged with assaulting and threatening to kill Ms Akter, offences which he had denied.
Court documents show Mr Masum was charged with threatening to kill Ms Akter on 24th November and assaulting her on 23rd November.
Both offences were alleged to have happened in Manchester.
Mr Masum pleaded not guilty to both offences at a hearing at Manchester Magistrates' Court on 27th November last year where he was released on bail and 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.
Police previously said Ms Akter and Mr Masum were known to each other, but did not confirm the nature of their relationship.
West Yorkshire Police and Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have both referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) as both had had prior contact with the pair.
Ms Akter was found seriously injured at about 15:21 BST on Saturday when officers were called to Westgate near the junction with Drewton Road. She was taken to hospital but later died. Her baby was unharmed.
After the attack Mr Masum was seen on CCTV getting on a bus in Market Street at about 15:30.
West Yorkshire Police said a 23-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender after raids were carried out in Burnley, Oldham and Chester.
The force has urged anyone who sees Mr Masum to call 999 "immediately".
Speaking on Monday, Assistant Chief Constable Damien Miller said: "I believe him to still be in the country at this moment in time."
A knife was recovered from the scene on Saturday but police have not said whether Mr Masum was still believed to be armed.
He is described as a slim Asian man and was last seen wearing a duffle coat with three large horizontal lines, grey tracksuit bottoms and maroon trainers.

I wondered how they identified the syspect so quickly,he was on bail for assaulting and threatening to kill the poor woman....the courts are far to quick to bail people for serious offences when they should be remanding them in custody. "I believe him to still be in the country at this moment in time"...sounds like they expect him to leave the country in the future. |

Update on the Bradford Stabbing: Man arrested on suspicion of Kulsuma Akter murder..
A man suspected of fatally stabbing a woman as she pushed her baby in a pram on a Bradford street has been arrested.
Habibur Masum was detained early on Tuesday morning following the death of 27-year-old Kulsuma Akter on Saturday.
Detectives said they had arrested a 25-year-old man in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
The arrest followed a nationwide manhunt for Mr Masum, after Ms Akter's death in the city centre attack. Her baby was unharmed.
Det Ch Insp Stacey Atkinson, of West Yorkshire Police, said the arrest followed a "tragic incident in which a mother has lost her life in the most horrific of circumstances".
"We understand that this has caused a considerable amount of concern in the local community," she added.
Churches and mosques across Bradford have been opened to allow people to grieve and pray, the assistant curate of Bradford Cathedral said on Monday.
In February, Newsnight revealed that nine women had died since 2019 after having previously reported domestic abuse to West Yorkshire.
Updated figures broadcast by Newsnight on Monday, obtained through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, indicated that 18 women had died since 2018, following contact with West Yorkshire Police over domestic abuse-related matters.
In response, West Yorkshire Police said that it had delivered additional training to officers on dealing with domestic abuse.

I notice in the news 2 scumbags who stabbed a young footballer to death in a nightclub got 26 years and 25 years in prison for murder,these 2 will still be in their 40s when they are released...if we cant have capitol punishment then surely a life sentence should be for the rest of their life ? Two men who stabbed footballer Cody Fisher to death on the dancefloor of a nightclub in a Boxing Day knife attack have been jailed for life. Remy Gordon and Kami Carpenter were jailed at Birmingham Crown Court for life with a minimum term of 26 and 25 years respectively for the murder. Mr Fisher, 23, died after being stabbed inside Crane nightclub in Digbeth, Birmingham, just before midnight on Boxing Day 2022. The attack occurred after one of his killers found him on Snapchat and vowed 'revenge' for accidentally touching him on the back during a night out two days earlier. Video released by police from the night shows the footballer dancing in a group including his girlfriend Jess Chatwin and best friend Dan Vann before he was ambushed by 10 masked men. Gordon had taken a photo of Mr Fisher and chillingly asked his friends 'who knows this likkle pip squeeze...due to shank him up' while trying to find him after the former Birmingham City academy player made 'unavoidable' contact at Popworld in Solihull on Christmas Eve. |

Update on Bradford stabbing: Mum of Kulsuma Akter 'can't stop crying'..By Marc Waddington & Yunus Mulla, BBC News.
The mother of a woman stabbed to death as she pushed her baby in a pram "cannot stop crying", her family has said.
Kulsuma Akter, from Oldham, was killed in Bradford city centre on Saturday afternoon.
Her cousin Aftab Miah said the 27-year-old had been "polite and humble" and "made the people around her laugh".
He said that her family were "devastated", with her mother in Bangladesh distraught.
Mr Miah added that the family wanted "justice".
Ms Akter was attacked at about 15:20 BST on Saturday as she pushed her baby in the pram along Westgate.
Emergency services were called, but she was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.
A 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder earlier in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, following a nationwide manhunt.
Mr Miah said when he spoke to Ms Akter's mother, she had "never stopped crying" and was "all the time mentioning her name".
"All we want is justice, nothing else," he added.
"Not revenge or anything, just justice for our sister."
He said Ms Akter had moved to Oldham about two years ago with her husband and had been "very caring and humble".
"She had a good personality, she used to make people laugh," he said.
"She was a wonderful lady."

"these incidents are really rare"....I wonder if this is going to be "mental health issues" as well ? They are very very rare (this is what we are told repeatedly) and happen on an increasingly regular basis. I agree,Halleys comet or a total eclipse are very rare,sadly fatal stabbings have become a regular occurence and are only 'a very rare incident' in Police jargon. |

Westfield Bondi mall attack: Sydney knife suspect identified by police..By Jay Savage in Sydney.A knife-wielding man who killed six people in a Sydney shopping centre before being shot dead has been identified by Australian police. Joel Cauchi, 40, sent the crowded Westfield Bondi Junction complex into panic on Saturday when he began stabbing people with a long blade. Five women and a man died. Several others, including a baby, were injured. Authorities said the attack was most likely "related to the mental health" of Mr Cauchi. Asked whether she believes he was targeting women, New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb told reporters on Sunday it would be "an obvious line of inquiry". But she added she would not describe the stabbings as an "act of terror", reiterating that police believed there was "no ideological motivation". Mr Cauchi, from neighbouring state Queensland, was previously known to police. Initial searches of a small storage unit he owned in Sydney had not shed light on a possible motive, the commissioner said. Knife-obsessed attacker was treated for mental health issues in the past
Queensland Health has revelaed Joel Cauchi had a history of mental health issues. 'Queensland Health extends our sympathies to everyone involved in the tragic incident in NSW,' a statement reads. 'We will work with Queensland and NSW police on any information and assistance we can provide. 'The man had been treated by Queensland Health for mental health issues more than a decade ago, but his care was transferred to a psychiatrist in the private sector in 2012.' i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/04/14/01/83604787-13305825-image-a-54_1713055662356.jpgPictured: the Bondi Junction knifeman Joel CauchiPrime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australians were "waking up to try to deal with the shock and trauma" of what had happened. Describing the attack as "unspeakable and really just beyond comprehension", Mr Albanese again praised the actions of a lone senior policewoman who confronted Mr Cauchi and shot him dead as horror gripped the mall. "The wonderful inspector who ran into danger by herself and removed the threat that was there to others, without thinking about the risks to herself," the prime minister said, thanking her and emergency teams. Police identified her on Sunday as Inspector Amy Scott, adding she had no current plans to speak publicly about the incident. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/04/13/12/83584121-13303971-The_knifeman_was_reportedly_shot_dead_by_a_female_police_officer-a-5_1713008400846.jpgThe knifeman was shot dead by a lone female police, Amy Scott, at the scene. i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/04/14/00/83589369-13305643-The_infant_is_now_fighting_for_life_after_being_rushed_to_hospit-a-19_1713052413252.jpgAshlee Good (pictured with her husband and child) was a new motherPolice have provided an update on the nine-month-old baby who was stabbed in the Bondi Junction knife attack. Her mother, Ashlee Good, 38, was among six innocent shoppers who were killed in the horrific random attack in Sydney's Westfield Bondi Junction on Saturday. A total of nine people, including Dr Good's nine-month old daughter, suffered knife wounds. The infant was rushed to hospital in a critical condition last night for emergency surgery. 'We understand baby Harriet is stabilising this morning. We understand that she underwent surgery and she remains in a serious but stable condition. Her family also issued a statement on Sunday morning. 'Today we are reeling from the terrible loss of Ashlee, a beautiful mother, daughter, sister, partner, friend, all round outstanding human and so much more,' it read. 'We appreciate the well-wishes and thoughts of members of the Australian public who have expressed an outpouring of love for Ashlee and our baby girl.'
