A 40-year-old man has been given a life sentence after being found guilty of murdering his infant son in a bakery in Carlisle last year.
Shahajan Kabir was found guilty at Carlisle Crown Court today of murdering 10-month-old Hassan Martin in vicious knife attack. He was jailed for life, with the recommendation that he serve at least 12 years.
Kabir, an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh, was also found guilty of two charges of unlawful wounding of Hassan's mother and grandmother.
On October 21 last year, Lorna Martin was in Gregg's bakery in Scotch Street, Carlisle, ordering a birthday cake for her son's first birthday when Kabir, armed with a 12-inch knife, entered the shop.
He attacked Hassan, who was in a pushchair, and slashed his throat. The baby was taken immediately to Cumberland Infirmary where he was pronounced dead. Lorna and grandmother Pauline Martin were both injured trying to defend the child.
Kabir had denied murder on the grounds that he was depressed and not responsible for his actions.
