A man who stabbed his wife to death has pleaded guilty to murder on the first day of his Old Bailey trial.
Tanzanian Kema Salum, 39, had previously denied killing 36-year-old Leyla Mtumwa.
The mother-of-one was repeatedly knifed in the neck and chest at the home they shared in Kirkstall Avenue, Haringey, on March 30.
Salum appeared in the dock on Monday wearing glasses and dressed in a grey suit and open-collared white shirt.
With the assistance of a Swahili interpreter, he spoke to confirm his name before pleading guilty to a charge of murder.
He faces a life term when Judge Richard Marks QC sentences him on October 5.
