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.
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.
