A man who killed a mum-of-three with an axe and then used the weapon to severely injure her husband has been cleared of murder by a jury.
Mohammed Yaqub Malik was instead convicted of manslaughter after a court heard that he lost control following severe provocation by the couple's son Wasim Ahmed.
The 58-year-old killed Ishrat Ahmed with a single blow to her head in the hallway of her home in Nelson, Lancashire, on July 4, 2021, LancsLive reports.
