Mr Khan on Tuesday said he had received a phone call from Ahmed in September 2016, during which he stated: "I hope you're happy. You can come over. I am leaving home."
The Crown says on February 18 in 2017, Ahmed demanded to see his wife's mobile phone, dragging her around the house before coming across recent messages and reaching for a knife in the kitchen.Mr Hughes said the judge would also hear evidence that Ahmed had earlier made a number of inquiries "about the various punishments" for infidelity, according to Islam, and "had turned his mind to punishing his wife".
Defence barrister Avni Djemal said Ahmed accepted legal and moral responsibility for the death of his wife. "The accused's case is that at the time ... he was substantially impaired by depressive illness," Mr Djemal said. He said the pair met online and it was "not a marriage by arrangement, it was a marriage of love", adding that Ahmed's reaction on the night of the stabbing was "out of character".Shahab Ahmed's barrister Avni Djemal
The accused's boss, Irfan Ali, testified that in the days before the incident, Ahmed said his wife wanted a divorce but "he didn't want to".
