A man is facing life in jail for throttling his young wife in front of her lover and disposing of her body in a suitcase into a tributary of the River Thames. The man in question is Aminan Rahman.
The killing was witnessed by Ms Begum’s two children as well as her online boyfriend via a video call from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he was living.
Rahman then stuffed Ms Begum into a suitcase while she was either dead or unconscious and was caught on CCTV dumping it in the River Lea, which runs through east London to the Thames.
The suitcase containing her decomposed body was found washed up on the river bank by a mudlarker 10 days later.
The court heard that Ms Begum’s boyfriend, Shahin Miah, 24, had recorded an online video of the events leading to her death, which was later handed, according to the local media.
