He waited for the children to go to school and stabbed the mother (his wife) to death.
The victim of the attack was identified as Yasmin Begum, 40 , and according to official sources, she lived in Bethnal Green, east of London (United Kingdom), the area where the femicide took place.
Local police arrested a suspect for the heinous murder, a 40-year-old man in Stratford, who remains in police custody while the investigation progresses.
When the educational institution noticed that the woman had not gone to pick up her children, school personnel tried to communicate with Mrs. Begum last Thursday after 4:00 pm, but they could not find her.
It was then that after a few hours the worst news arrived: the mother of the two boys was found dead, with stab wounds.
In fact, the post-mortem examinations did nothing more than corroborate what the evidence made very clear: the cause of death had been due to multiple injuries caused by sharp forces.
Laurence Smith , Detective Chief Inspector, said: "My condolences to Yasmin's family and friends at this incredibly difficult time." And he added: "I want to assure you that we are working day and night to give you the answers you deserve."
He also spoke about another femicide, a concern that he already reveals. “It is heartbreaking that another woman has been killed. All women and girls have the right to feel safe , at any time, day or night, in public or at home, and we will do everything we can to find those responsible for it," she warned.
"Tackling violence against women is a top priority for the Police. Officers, including forensic specialists, remain on site. We will continue to carry out door-to-door investigations and local people will also see additional police in the area.", he had also remarked at the time.
In addition, he stressed the importance of the presence of any witness or person who could provide some type of information on the case.
"No matter how insignificant you think your information may be, don't hesitate to get in touch. It could be key to this investigation," he said.
