July 3rd 2024.
Next on our news, we have a tragic and disturbing story of a chef who committed a heinous act of violence towards his own wife. Aminan Rahman, a 47-year-old man, was found guilty of murder and faces a life sentence for his actions. This shocking incident took place in a flat in Docklands, east London on the night of April 29, 2023.
According to reports, Rahman was video calling his wife's lover, Shahin Miah, who was living in the United Arab Emirates, while he attacked his wife, Suma Begum. The victim, who was only 24 years old, was strangled with her own scarf by Rahman in front of their young children. As the horrific scene unfolded, Rahman could be heard shouting at Mr. Miah, blaming him for the situation. It is believed that Ms. Begum may have still been alive when Rahman crammed her body into a suitcase and threw it into the River Lea, with their young son as a witness.
Tragically, Ms. Begum's body was found ten days later by a mudlarker, washed up by the side of the Thames. The court heard that this was not the first time Rahman had attacked his wife. In February of last year, she had made a video showing scratches on her neck and told Mr. Miah that Rahman had almost killed her by choking her. Despite this, Ms. Begum remained in the marriage and even had two children with Rahman after an arranged Islamic ceremony over the phone in 2019.
However, things took a turn when Ms. Begum met Mr. Miah on the social media app TikTok, later moving on to WhatsApp. The two had an "intimate, sexual" online relationship, and when Mr. Miah found out about her marriage to Rahman, he informed the defendant. Despite this, the lovers stayed together, and Ms. Begum remained married.
During the trial, Mr. Miah, who was visibly emotional, described the horrific video call where he witnessed the murder of his lover. He stated that Ms. Begum wanted to run away, and Rahman grabbed her by the throat, causing her to make three screaming sounds before the video froze. In another call from Rahman that same night, he showed Mr. Miah the video of Ms. Begum's lifeless body and swore at him, saying, "I have killed her, and now you get ready."
The prosecution argued that Ms. Begum's death was no accident and that Rahman had threatened to harm her and her lover before. They also stated that the victim's two young children were in the bedroom during the attack and that Rahman had previously attacked Ms. Begum in February, causing scratches on her neck.
In his defense, Rahman claimed that he never intended to harm Ms. Begum and was acting in defense of his older child, who he claimed Ms. Begum had threatened to kill and had thrown against a wall. However, the prosecution rejected this claim, stating that Rahman had deliberately disposed of Ms. Begum's body in hopes of it never being found.
On July 31, Rahman will be sentenced for his crimes. This heartbreaking and disturbing case serves as a reminder of the dangers of domestic violence and the tragic consequences it can have. Our thoughts go out to the family and loved ones of Suma Begum, may she rest in peace.
