A man is facing life in prison after he beheaded his wife at their home in west London.
Naveed Ahmed, 41, pleaded guilty to murdering mother-of-two Tahira Ahmed, 38, during a hearing at the Old Bailey.
He initially denied the killing at the couple's £350,000 house in Merton Avenue, Northolt on May 27 last year but changed his plea today.
Murder scene: Northolt (Picture: Google Streetview)At a brief hearing before judge Christopher Moss QC today, he admitted one count of murder.
The judge adjourned sentencing until Wednesday, January 28 at the same court.
The detailed facts of the case were not heard today.
Mr Ahmed's lawyer Mark Kelly QC told the court that the issue at the previous hearing had been determining Ahmed's state of mind at the time of the killing.
Ahmed, dressed in a dark blue suit and black tie, spoke only to confirm his name and entered the guilty plea in the courtroom attended by members of Mrs Ahmed's family.
The judge warned him that he would face a life sentence for the killing and he would decide on the minimum term at the hearing next week.
He was remanded in custody.
