LEEDS TAXI DRIVER CHARGED WITH MURDER OF HIS WIFE A WEEK AFTER BURYING HER DAD


A taxi driver has been charged with the murder of his mother-of-seven wife after she was found dead inside their home. Abida Karim, 39, was discovered by police in Leeds, West Yorkshire at around 5.30am on 25 September. Her husband Sajid Per- vez, 37, has been charged with murder and was due to appear at Leeds Magistrates Court the following day. It is understood that Ms Karim had only returned home the previous week after burying her father in Pakistan. The red-brick terraced property in Hare- hills now lies behind a police cordon as forensics experts work in the house. Tributes have poured in for Ms Karim fol- lowing her death, with neighbours describing her as a kind and caring mother. One woman said: “I honestly can’t believe it, she was a good woman and caring. She was an amazing mother. She was kindness itself.” Another added: “They were a delightful couple. We never had any trou- ble from them. I can’t understand what has


happened here.” A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Sajid Pervez, aged 37, has been charged with the murder of his wife Abida Karim, aged 39, who was found dead at their home in Hovingham Terrace, Hare- hills, yesterday (24/9). He is due to appear at Leeds Magistrates Court tomorrow (26/9).”
