The police watchdog has launched an investigation into West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester Police over the alleged murder of Kulsuma Akter.
Police were told that a young mother received death threats days before she was fatally stabbed as she pushed her baby in a pram, the watchdog has said.
Part of the investigation will examiner whether police were aware of any alleged breach of bail by Mr Masum and whether there were "missed opportunities" to safeguard Ms Akter. IOPC regional director Emily Barry said: "Our thoughts are with Ms Akter’s family and friends, who have lost a loved one in tragic circumstances, as well as all those affected by this deeply distressing incident.
"It is only right that a thorough investigation takes place to understand the nature and extent of the police interaction with Ms Akter.
