A jury has found a bus driver — who attacked his wife with a ladder, table leg, and other weapons — guilty of murder.
Hussein Egal, who claimed his wife had threatened to throw him out for having Covid-19, used a variety of household items during his ‘frenzied’ assault on 57-year-old Maryan Ismail.
The 66-year-old admitted carrying out the killing in Edmonton, Greater London, in April 2020 but denied it was murder.
Yesterday, a jury at the Old Bailey — the chief criminal court for England and Wales — took two hours to find Egal guilty.
