Asylum seeker hacked family to death

A FAILED asylum seeker was jailed for life yesterday for hacking to death his four-year-old stepdaughter, his wife and her disabled brother with a machete-like kitchen knife.

The bodies of Fahmeda Ahmed, her mother Nurjahan Khatun, 31, and 35-year-old uncle Kamal Uddin were discovered in their tower block flat in east London after neighbours heard screaming.

At Inner London Crown Court, Badshu Miah, 30, pleaded guilty to the three murders on September 5 last year.
