Wahib Albaradan admits murdering partner Salam Alshara in Dewsbury

Wahib Albaradan, 37, has confessed to the murder of his partner, Salam Alshara, 27, in Ravensthorpe, Dewsbury, after spending over a year denying the charges. He pleaded guilty on the day his trial was scheduled to start at Leeds Crown Court. Alshara was found seriously injured at a property on November 19, 2023, and later died, prompting a police manhunt that led to Albaradan's arrest the following day. Witnesses reported seeing a bloodied man apprehended by police near the scene. The couple, believed to have immigrated to the UK in 2020 with their four children, will have Albaradan sentenced at a future date. The case has drawn significant attention due to its tragic circumstances and the involvement of law enforcement.
