Man, 21, admits murdering wife and mother-in-law

A 21-YEAR-OLD man has admitted murdering his wife and her mother in a frenzied knife attack after his second secret family was discovered.

Janbaz Tarin killed Raneem Oudeh, 22, and her mother Khaola Saleem outside Mrs Saleem’s home in Solihull, West Midlands, shortly after midnight on August 27.

Tarin, of Sparkhill, Birmingham, had armed himself with a knife after a public row with Ms Oudeh, who was his wife under Islamic law.

He then fled, leading police on a three-day manhunt before his dramatic capture by officers.

Ms Oudeh had dumped her husband in the weeks before his attack after learning he had three children and a secret wife who was pregnant with a fourth child in Afghanistan.

Jilted Tarin, who met Ms Oudeh at Solihull College, had also lied to her about how young he was.

He was abusive towards her in the relationship and she had previously contacted the police about his violent behaviour.

When she discovered his web of deceit Ms Oudeh dumped him.

But Tarin repeatedly harrassed his ex-partner, sleeping outside Mrs Saleem’s address for 12 consecutive nights.

Ms Oudeh had secured a nonmolestation order against him after he smashed her phone on August 10.

But he flouted the ban and in the hours leading up to the assault Ms Oudeh made three calls to police.

She was on the phone to a 999 call handler when Tarin struck.

In the weeks before her murder, Ms Oudeh told family members he had threatened her, saying “if you leave me, I will kill you and your family”.

With the help of her mother, Ms Oudeh, who had a two-year-old son from another relationship, secured the court order two weeks before her death.

On the night of August 26, Tarin followed his victims to a shisha lounge.

There was a confrontation involving the three inside the lounge and Tarin was ejected by staff after being heard making threats to kill his estranged wife.

He left the scene, armed himself with a knife and drove to Mrs Saleem’s home where he violently attacked mother and daughter outside their front door.

He was captured on CCTV fleeing on foot and hid from police for three days, triggering a huge manhunt by West Midlands Police.

A tip-off by a member of the public led to his capture, although a criminal investigation is continuing into those who may have assisted Tarin in evading justice.

He will be sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on a date to be fixed.
