A man who strangled his wife in front of their young children before stuffing her into a suitcase has been seen on CCTV attempting to dispose of her body in a river.

Aminan Rahman, 47, was responsible for the death of Suma Begum in Docklands, London, in April 2023, after she was allegedly found to have a boyfriend.

The footage shows Mr Rahman holding his son and dragging a suitcase containing his wife’s body, before dumping it in the River Lea.

He was this week found guilty of murder and will be sentenced in July.
