A CHEF who strangled his wife for having an online affair and threw her body in a river in a suitcase was jailed for 22 years yesterday.
Aminan Rahman, 46, was sentenced for murdering Suma Begum, 24, during a TikTok call with her young boyfriend.
He sat stony-faced as the Old Bailey was told of the devastating effect the killing has had on his two-year-old son.
The lad, who saw the attack and was taken by his father to throw the suitcase in the river near their East London home, is said to stare, glassy-eyed out of the window.
He is terrified of Asian men and tries to poke out the eyes of dolls.
Suma’s half-brother Abdul Amin said: “Aminan is a selfish man who could not stand the fact his wife no longer wanted to be with him.
“No matter where you are from, or what culture you are from, a woman should never been killed by their husband or partner and no child should have to lose a parent in this way.”
Rahman was convicted of murder on July 3.
