Killer jailed for life after throttling estranged wife with her bra strap died after suffering heart attack in prison

A killer who was jailed for life after strangling his estranged wife to death with her bra strap died after suffering a heart attack in prison, a report has said. Abul Kashem Miah murdered teacher Rukshana Miah, 35, at their former home in North Reddish, Stockport, in August 2014.

The bouncer was convicted of murder at Manchester Crown Court in November 2015 and sentenced to life in prison. A fatal incident report by the prisons ombudsman said Miah died in hospital in April last year, three days after suffering a heart attack at HMP Stoke Heath in Shropshire.

The report criticised some aspects of the prison's response to Miah's death. It found staff did not have up-to-date first aid training and there was no oxygen in their emergency kit.
