- A man who attacked and killed his wife in her own home in Bethnal Green has been found guilty of her murder.
On Wednesday, 17 May, a jury at the Old Bailey were unanimous in their decision to find Quyum Miah, 41 (30.09.81) of High Street, Homerton guilty of the murder of 40-year-old Yasmin Begum.
Miah had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to theft and two counts of fraud.
He was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing at the same court on Friday, 9 June.
Speaking on behalf of Yasmin's family, her brother, Atik Zaman, said: "Firstly we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the detectives who worked so tirelessly to collect the evidence that caught Yasmin’s killer. Without their efforts, he may have gone on to put another family through this nightmare.
“Today an evil creature was found guilty of murder, fraud, and burglary. A creature that should never be allowed to walk the streets again. He chose to murder a daughter, a mother, a sister for no reason other than financial gain.
“He values life at £800 as that it what he stole. He broke into our sister’s home and brutally murdered her then robbed her. We hope that he gets reminded every day of his measly existence, how evil he is, and what awaits him in the next life.
“We ask that our privacy be respected as we try to pick up the pieces and go on with our lives without Yasmin.”
Yasmin was found collapsed inside her address in Globe Road, E2 shortly after 16:00hrs on 24 March 2022 after concerned school staff attended her home when she failed to collect her children from school.
Yasmin had been stabbed several times and items, including her bank card and jewelry she was wearing, had been taken.
Miah was married to Yasmin but the pair had been separated for about a year, and divorce proceedings were underway. Attention quickly fell on him, and detectives swiftly began to piece together his movements. Forensic analysis of CCTV, together with dynamic interventions to secure evidence ensured a compelling case was compiled against Miah.
