Their family life was abusive from the very start as Mohammed
Badiuzzaman had forced Sabeen Thandi into a Muslim marriage. They
started living together after 2 months of dating in 2012.
The
34-year-old man was described as tyrant who controlled all spheres of
his wife's life, he forced her to throw away ‘revealing’ clothes and
instead wear a hijab because otherwise she would ‘feel his wrath’.
He
even tried to sell her house pretending he owned the property. When the
poor woman was no longer able to endure humiliation she filed for a
divorce in 2013. Mohammed was not allowed to enter Mrs Thandi's home as
she was feared for her children’s safety.
When Mohammed discovered
that Mrs Thandi fell in love with a Pakistan man whom she had met on
Facebook the nightmare began. He offered the Sabeen to drop her off to
work but instead he drove her around for 3 hours threatening to kill her
with a hammer in his trunk if she did not revoke the order against him.
The
next day the man was arrested on suspicion of threats to kill and
unlawful imprisonment but was later released. Few days later police
received several silent calls from the home the couple had shared and
visited the house.
When Mohammed was asked about his wife's
whereabouts he told that she was at work. While searching the house the
police officers found strangled Mrs Thandi in their bedroom.
It
was learnt that earlier he shared his intentions to kill his pregnant
wife with his colleagues, saying that jails in UK were lenient and
ranted about Oscar Pistorius' crime story.
Mohammed Badiuzzaman pleaded guilty to murdering mother-of-three Sabeen
Thandi and was sentenced to a minimum of 17 years in prison.
