This chilling CCTV footage shows a jilted lover stalking his ex-fiancée and her new boyfriend moments before slashing their throats because she had refused to marry him.
Bharat Soma, 26, knifed 17-year-old Darshana Narotam and Prashant Govinde, 22, in broad daylight after Ms Narotam 'dishonoured him' by fleeing from their arranged marriage.
Ms Narotam and Mr Govinde had left their homes in Wembley, London nine days earlier so the teenager did not have to go through with the forced marriage.
But Soma managed to track the couple down in Leicester, where he carried out the so-called 'honour' attack in front of horrified shoppers on a Sunday afternoon.
In the footage, Soma is seen following the victims along the busy street, just seconds after they have passed the same spot.
Soma then slit Ms Narotam's throat while holding her from behind, before stabbing Mr Govinde through the neck with the same knife.
He then repeatedly screamed 'my wife, my wife', as the weapon was prised from his hands by one of the victims.
Continue after the cut for Video....
The defendant, from North Evington, Leicestershire, has now been jailed at Leicester Crown Court for 23 years after being found guilty of two charges of attempted murder.
Soma was also convicted of unlawfully wounding a 15-year-old boy who was with the couple and eventually managed to disarm him. The teenager was left with a badly-cut arm.
