The 39-year-old said she was a friend of the mother and gave her name as Samina.

Samina claimed the victims other sons said dont kill my mummy before the man fled.
She said: Im still in shock.
A one-year-old baby, Im still not getting it at all.
I saw him run away, he ran so fast. I just saw blood. He carried on to the motorway.
She has four kids altogether, three kids from her first marriage and from the second one a son.
They said “dont kill my mummy”.
The neighbour claimed Khan was not living at the house after his British visa application was rejected and he was told by social services to stay away.
He used to threaten the social service lady on the phone as well, Samina claimed.

Five days ago he applied for the indefinite leave to remain visa through his wife because his wife is a British citizen.
She reported he used to be a beater and harasser in the past and the court rejected it.
She said hes going to the final hearing on June 14th.
She added: Everyone is so distressed because he is not caught still.
