A man who murdered his wife in a “persistent and frenzied” attack at their home in West Yorkshire has been jailed for life.
Wahib Albaradan murdered Salam Alshara, 27, at the house on Dearnley Street, Dewsbury, on 19 November 2023 following an argument.
The 37-year-old used three bladed weapons to cause the mother-of-four at least 20 injuries, Leeds Crown Court heard.
Albaradan spent more than a year denying he had murdered his partner, admitting the killing on the day his trial was due to begin.
He was told to serve a minimum jail term of 19 years and six months.
Albaradan ran off after the murder and was arrested in the early hours of the following morning, with the weapons never recovered.
Judge Guy Kearl KC, the Recorder of Leeds, said: “You were a jealous and controlling husband who bullied, threatened and manipulated her as a result of that jealousy.”
