Newlyweds who stabbed groom's mum in ‘frenzied' attack while wearing creepy Poundland animal masks are jailed
A NEWLYWED couple who stabbed the groom's stepmum while wearing creepy animal masks have been jailed. Wasif Hussain, 21 and his wife Nabela Tabassum, 19, donned the giraffe masks from Poundland to launch into the "frenzied" attack. 3 The evil couple wore giraffe masks during the attempted murder Credit: BPM Hussain repeatedly stabbed Arifa Nazmin and bludgeoned her with a hammer as his wife restrained her new mother-in-law. He also strangled and punched her during the horror in Birmingham, which was caught on camera. The couple have now been found jailed after they were found guilty of attempted murder following a trial. Hussain was caged for 15 years while his wife received a nine-year jail term.

I will live with this for the rest of my life.' Birmingham Crown Court heard they had been living at the home after they got married in December 2023. But they soon hatched the evil plot to kill Arifa after they were accused of not doing any chores and treating the house like a hotel. Most read in The Sun The stepmum also claimed Tabassum could not wash up properly. The court was told the pair snapped when they were asked to leave the home and began assembling a chilling kill kit.

He also chillingly told her: "You will die for everything you have done." A camera inside the home captured the victim's terrified screams as she desperately fought back.

On the same day police were set to put a closure order on the building, firefighters had been called to the property after Peter Heron tried to burn the house down. The 43-year-old was jailed for 28 months after he used a blowtorch and had the gas turned on in while other tenants were still inside. In 2017, "rogue landlady" Claydon was also found guilty of allowing the property to be occupied - despite a prohibition order banning people from living there. Newton Abbot Magistrates' Court heard that residents and police officers had seen people on the site. The fire service had entered the property in November 2016 to rescue an occupant, thought to be aged in his 40s, during a fire in which a dog died. The former multiple-occupancy house has been described by local police as "a blot on the landscape". Council planners gave the nod to convert the crime-hit derelict home into flats in 2020. Work is now underway to breathe new life into the sordid site. At a planning meeting, Councillor Barbara Lewis said the property had been the source of problems for residents and the development would improve and regenerate the area. She added: 'All the residents of Keysfield Road will be delighted.' 7 Council planners gave the nod to convert the crime-hit derelict home into flats in 2020 Credit: YouTube
