Husband who put body in suitcase sentenced to life

A man who strangled his wife for having an online affair and dumped her body in a river has been sentenced to life in prison.

Aminan Rahman, 46, from east London, attacked 24-year-old Suma Begum during a video call with her boyfriend last April, the Old Bailey trial previously heard.

The court was told how Rahman put her into a suitcase after choking her, at which point she might still have been alive.

Mr Justice Bennathan set a minimum of 22 years before Rahman can apply for release on licence.
