Our hearts are with Kulsuma Akter's loved ones.
We are outraged that the accused was granted bail despite having assaulted and threatened to kill her. Her homicide is another example of women being let down due to systemic failure to treat MVAWG with the seriousness it deserves.
It's emerged that the man suspected of fatally stabbing a mother in Bradford is on bail for allegedly threatening to kill her.
