\"\"A MAN who killed his wife after thinking she was having an affair has been jailed for life for her murder.<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

31-year-old Kafil Ahmed brutally murdered his wife, Laily Begum, in a frenzied attack at their Darlaston home in January 2006, just days after she had confided in her brother-in-law about her husbands suspicions. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Birmingham Crown Court heard Ahmed then disposed of her body before fleeing to Norwich where he was eventually tracked down and arrested. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite substantial searches by West Midlands Police, Mrs Begum\u2019s body has never been found. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Judge Frank Chapman told Ahmed, who has a four-year-old daughter with his wife, he would have to serve at least 20 years before being eligible for parole, adding he had taken the life of a \u201cloving mother\u201d.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

He said: “You killed her because you were jealous of her kindness to other people, a kindness you mistook as unfaithfulness.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

”Your anger took over when she embarrassed you by complaining about your suspicions to your brother.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The judge said he accepted that the killing was not premeditated but criticised Ahmed who proceeded to lie about what really happened. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Judge Chapman told him: “You were prepared to blame anyone if it was to your advantage. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“I ask myself why you have concealed where she was laid. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“I can only conclude it’s because of the dreadful injuries you inflicted upon her.” <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The court heard Mrs Begum had called her brother-in-law just days before she was murdered confiding in him about her husbands suspicions that she was having an affair. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Anthony Barker, QC, prosecuting, told the court she was crying on the phone and was due to fly out to Bangladesh to visit relatives in a matter of days. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The brother-in-law spoke to Ahmed and reassured him his suspicions were unfounded, Mr Barker added. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

But after failed attempts to contact Mrs Begum her parents went to the couple\u2019s home where they found blood. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Barker told the court there was \u201ca lot of blood\u201d and evidence had suggested Mrs Begum was the victim of a savage attack. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

As Ahmed was sentenced, Mrs Begum\u2019s brother, Samad Uddin made a plea for anyone who may know where his sister\u2019s body is buried. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

”I would like to say that if anyone does have any information to tell the police. I would like to stress that we need to know where the body is to have closure,” he said.<\/div>\n
