Police have released the chilling 999 call from a man who had just murdered his wife. This was what Mohammed Anhar Ali told the 999 operator six hours after killing his wife , Nazia Begum Ali, in a brutal and prolonged attack at her home in Ellesmere Road last year. Evidence showed Ali buying two knives, rope, a hammer and a screwdriver at a Bethnal Green Road shop on October 21 before he went to his estranged wife's house and hid in a cupboard, waiting for her to come home.

Nazia, 25, had bruising and lacerations to her upper neck and face, fractured ribs, perhaps caused by a knee to her chest, markings to her ankle and lower shin that implied she was tied up for a significant period of time.

Following her death, the 32-year-old covered her body with a white sheet and then went to sleep with his children.

He called the emergency services and admitted to slaying Nazia.

In the call, the telephone operator can be heard asking him: "How did you kill your wife?"

Ali replied: "With a scarf and I held her neck."

Ali was found guilty at the Old Bailey on Thursday, April 4 and will be sentenced on April 17.
