A man has been charged with the murder of a woman who was killed while pushing a baby in a pram.

Habibur Masum, 25, of Leamington Avenue, Burnley, was also charged with possession of a bladed article.

He will appear at Bradford Magistrates’ Court on Thursday.

Kulsuma Akter, 27, died after being stabbed in Bradford on Saturday afternoon. She was taken to hospital but died from her injuries.

Masum was arrested 150 miles away in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, on Tuesday morning.

Ms Akter, from Oldham, was attacked while she was out getting food to break her Ramadan fast, her cousin Aftab Miah told Sky News.

“She was a loving sister. She was very caring and humble. She made people laugh,” he added.
