Chilling moment killer drags wife’s body in a suitcase while carrying child in his arms before dumping remains in river
THIS is the chilling moment a killer dumped his wife’s body in a river in a suitcase after strangling her in front of her TikTok lover.
Aminan Rahman, 46, murdered 24-year-old Suma Begum while their two young children were in the house.
He then stuffed Suma either dead or unconscious in a suitcase before haunting footage showed him dragging her from their home.
Rahman was then captured hurling the bag over a set of railings into the River Lea in East London while with one of their children.
Her decomposed body was found washed up on the river bank ten days later.
The evil killer is now facing life in prison after being convicted of murder.
The Old Bailey heard Suma and Rahman had married in an arranged ceremony over the phone in 2019.
She moved to the UK to be with the chef a year later and the pair went on to have two children together.
Suma later met another man, Shahin Miah, 24, on TikTok and the pair embarked on a relationship together.
Rahman was made aware of the development but he and Suma stayed married, despite it being an unhappy union.
Prosecutor Jocelyn Ledward KC said: “It is clear this young woman was no longer happy in her marriage, she was fairly openly in a relationship with another man, and she had expressed the desire to leave the defendant, something about which neither he nor her family were happy.
“But whether he was motivated by rage, shame, or pure jealousy, or a more complex mix of cultural expectations and emotions, may not matter.”
Just before midnight on April 29, Rahman strangled his wife to death while on a video call with his love rival.
How you can get help
Women's Aid has this advice for victims and their families:
- Always keep your phone nearby.
- Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women’s Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine.
- If you are in danger, call 999.
- Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing “55”.
- Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.
- If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.
- Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space.

Weeping as he recalled the horror, Shahin said: “She wanted to run away and he then grabbed her throat.”
He told the court there were “three screaming sounds” before the video froze.
Rahman later called Shahin, who was in the UAE at the time, and told him: “Look, I have killed (Ms Begum) and now you get ready.”
The court was told Suma was either dead or unconscious when she was put in the suitcase and dumped in the river.
Rahman denied murder and assaulting Suma by beating but pleaded guilty to preventing the lawful and decent burial of her body.
He was remanded into custody to be sentenced on July 31.
