Excerpt:
A pregnant mother-of-three hatched a plan to escape her controlling husband just hours before he strangled her to death, her lover claimed today.
Moni Badiuzzaman, 35, pressured Sabeen Thandi, 37, to wear a hijab head scarf, forced her into an Islamic marriage and tried to sell her house in Forest Gate by pretending he was the owner.
In July last year Mrs Thandi, an aspiring actress, told her boyfriend in Pakistan, Majid Khan, that she wanted to flee there with her three children. Hours later she was dead.
