A 'controlling bully' who strangled and then stabbed his wife 49 times in front of her young son 'like a lion kills its prey' has been jailed for life. 'It pains me in my heart that she was killed like an animal, killed like a lion kills its prey.' I have not stopped crying since Leyla was killed and I am now on medication to help me sleep.' Judge Richard Marks QC jailed Salum for life with a minimum of 23 years and described the defendant as an 'arrogant, controlling bully'. 'Having started off attempting to strangle her you broke off, went to get a knife, and then resumed the attack.'
