A TWISTED traffic warden sobbed as he was jailed for stabbing his wife to death days after she sent friends a chilling prediction.
Asim Hasan, 34, knifed Aaisha 26 times with such force her spinal cord was severed and a piece of skull broke away from her head.
The 32-year-old was discovered in a pool of blood at the family home in Canning Town, East London, on May 19 last year.
Just ten days before, mum-of-two Aaisha had sent a "desperate" message to friends, saying: "If something happens to me please take care of my kids."
Hasan wept today as he was jailed for life with a minimum of 21 years after being convicted of murder.
Addressing the killer, Aaisha's sister Vaishli Montechande said: "You alone are responsible for taking her life. She will never she her children grow. She will not be there for all their milestones because of you.

"I speak for the whole of my family. We are devastated by the death of my sister. Losing my sister to murder is a devastating experience particularly when it was done by her husband.
"The fact my sister tried to seek help but wasn't able to get it has led to deep feelings of anger."
The Old Bailey was told the couple married in 2012 but by 2022, the relationship had soured.
Controlling Hasan terrified his wife so much she began secretly recording his behaviour.

She had messaged friends to say her husband had attacked her but said she didn't want to call the police and instead just wanted him out the house as she didn't "feel safe".
The brute believed Aaisha was having an affair even though he had joined a Muslim dating app just days before the killing and told how the relationship broke down because he wanted two wives.
On May 10, the mum recorded a row after Hasan locked her in a room and threatened to pick up a knife.
A neighbour phoned police but Aaisha made no complaint and the issue was not taken any further.
Hasan dialled 999 on May 19 to tell them he had stabbed his wife and that his two children were in the house but unhurt.
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.

When police arrived, Aaisha was declared dead at the scene while her killer husband was arrested with blood still on his hands.
He told officers at the scene: "I'm guilty and you can charge me."
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Rogers from the Met's Specialist Crime Command, who led the investigation, said: "Hasan carried out a ferocious and savage attack on his wife, stabbing her at least 26 times.

"Aaisha had tried to defend herself during Hasan's frenzied attack, but she did not stand a chance against him.
"Hasan had denied murdering Aaisha, claiming he had not intended to at least cause serious harm. Thankfully, the jury disagreed and recognised the fact that you do not carry out a sustained, brutal attack such as that without, at the very least, intending to cause serious harm."
