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. In her victim impact statement, Arifa said: 'I still panic when the door is knocked, I can feel the fear in my body. 'I'm terrified they have returned to finish me off. 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. 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. This included a can of Zoflora disinfect, gloves and a lighter all bought from a One Stop in a bid to cover their tracks. The monster couple planned to burn Arifa's body in the garden after killing her. They also bought the Poundland giraffe masks on January 29 - the day they launched the savage attack. As Tabassum held Arifa down, Hussain plunged a knife in and battered his stepmum over the head with a hammer. The bride told her husband "kill her, kill her" as Hussain branded Arifa a "gold digger". 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. Brave Arifa managed to survive the horror by convincing them to go upstairs before she called for help. Both Tabassum and Hussain fled but were discovered in a Travelodge in Bolton the following day and arrested. 3 Nabela Tabassum had fallen out with her mum-in-law

'We will move on...but Kohli added so much to this game': Nasser Hussain pays emotional tribute to former India captain at Headingley

Watch the video of Hussain's emotional tribute. read more As India began their new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle on Friday with the first Test against England at Headingley , one familiar figure was notably missing – Virat Kohli. Arguably the biggest cricketing star of the last decade, Kohli has always drawn the most attention during an India match. But that won't be the case in the ongoing five-match Test series against England. Kohli retired from Test cricket last month after playing 123 matches in which he scored 9230 runs at an average of 46.85. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Nasser Hussain pays emotional tribute to Virat Kohli Former England cricketer Nasser Hussain and Kohli's former teammate Dinesh Karthik discussed the Test retirement of the cricketing superstar before the Headingley Test got underway. Hussain recalled the Lord's Test between the two teams in 2021 when Kohli spurred India to victory with his inspirational leadership. No one can forget his famous pep-talk in which he asked his bowlers and fielders to unleash '60 overs of hell' on the English batters. 'I was asked something by the ECB the other day, your favourite India, England moment historically, and there've been so many. It may not be my favourite, but it's the one that stuck with me the most, was in the huddle that last morning at Lord's when England were trying to chase down a score,' Hussain told Sky Sports. Nasser Hussain talking about the Greatness of Virat Kohli. 🐐 — Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) June 20, 2025 'They unleashed hell and their side became a sort of mirror image of Kohli, the character, the feistiness of Siraj, Bumrah in your face, Shami in your face. Kohli, Test match cricket is so much better when Kohli was playing,' he added. Hussain also said that while the cricketing world has always learned to move on, even from legends like Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar, it will be tough to do so with Kohli. 'We will move on. We moved on from Gavaskar to Tendulkar to Kohli and maybe to Gill, but Kohli added so much to this game of cricket,' Hussain said.

Virat Kohli's absence felt even before first ball is bowled in IND vs ENG Test: 'Moved on from Gavaskar, Sachin but...'
It is still hard to get one's head around the fact that Virat Kohli will no longer be playing Test cricket for India. The man who made the whites his own will no longer grace the field in the longest format following his retirement in May 2025. The right-handed batter who was enduring a difficult time in Tests over the last five years, called time on his career in the longest format, having played 123 matches in which he scored 9230 runs at an average of 46.85. Ahead of the first Test between India and England in Headingley, Leeds, former England captain Nasser Hussain and former India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik spoke about Kohli's retirement and how Test cricket would dearly miss a character like him. In India's last series against Australia, Kohli kept getting out in a similar fashion as he kept nicking deliveries bowled outside off. In the nine innings he batted in, Kohli scored 190 runs. His numbers would have looked all the more abysmal had he not registered a century in the series opener in Perth. Everyone expected Kohli to make the trip to the UK, considering he played a Ranji Trophy match for Delhi against Railways in January 2025. However, his decision left cricket fans and pundits shocked. While speaking about Kohli, Nasser Hussain recalled the famous Lord's Test match from 2021, in which India registered a memorable victory. He spoke about Kohli's passionate pep-talk during the team huddle, in which he told his side to unleash '60 overs of hell.''

It may not be my favourite, but it's the one that stuck with me the most, was in the huddle that last morning at Lord's when England were trying to chase down a score,' Hussain told Sky Sports. Speaking further, Nasser said that fans and pundits will eventually move on from Virat Kohli, but one cannot deny the impact he had in the longest format of the game. 'They unleashed hell and their side became a sort of mirror image of Kohli, the character, the feistiness of Siraj, Bumrah in your face, Shami in your face. Kohli, Test match cricket is so much better when Kohli was playing,' said Hussain. 'We will move on. We moved on from Gavaskar to Tendulkar to Kohli and maybe to Gill, but Kohli added so much to this game of cricket,' he added. Earlier this month, after Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) maiden IPL triumph, Kohli spoke about how this victory still rates five levels below Test cricket. He also advised the youngsters to take up Test cricket if they want to earn respect from their peers and competitors. 'It was great to see what he said when he won that IPL about Test match cricket and what he told the next generation of that is where you make your name in Test match cricket,' said Hussain. Speaking about the first Test between India and England, the latter won the toss and opted to bowl first.
