THE man accused of stabbing a mum to death in front of her baby shared a chilling post about "losing his bride" just days before.
Habibur Masum, 25, is wanted by cops after he allegedly murdered the woman in broad daylight in Bradford city centre on Saturday.
The pram-pushing mum was stabbed "four to five" times in the neck and left to die in front of her baby boy as her killer fled, locals said.
Yesterday cops issued CCTV of murder suspect Masum - urging the public to report any sightings of him.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed that the victim and suspect are understood to be known to each other.

On March 28 Masum shared a clip of Bollywood film Laapataa Ladies on his Facebook account.
In the clip, a character says: "He was returning home with his wife last night and lost her on the way."
Masum, from Oldham near Manchester, captioned the clip with four "crying with laughter" emojis.
The wanted murder suspect is described as an Asian man of slim build with links to Burnley and Chester.
Masum, from Oldham, is an aspiring influencer who regularly posts videos on his YouTube and TikTok accounts.
One recent clip shows Masum holding up Bangladeshi-made clothes in a local Primark branch.
Other videos show Masum packing his bags for a holiday to Barcelona and walking through a housing estate in the snow.
Samin's UK Visas Support Centre helped Masum procure an EU Schengen visa in January.
The firm's owner told The Sun: "I was actually shocked when I heard the news about the murder.
"Masum is a familiar face in Manchester. He came here on a student visa.

SAVAGE ATTACK
The horror unfolded in front of terrified onlookers in the Westgate area of Bradford at around 3.21pm on Saturday.
Greengrocer Geo Khan, 69, said the woman was a regular customer at his shop.
He told The Sun: "I was working on Saturday and I heard screams and ran out of my shop.
"I saw that lady was lying face down on the pavement next to a pushchair with her five-month old baby boy inside.
“I turned her over. There was a lot of blood and I checked for a pulse, but couldn’t find one.
"I could see the knife wounds to her neck and I tried to do CPR.
"Her friend, who had gone into the Westgate International Food store when the attack happened was screaming.
"A doctor was passing in a car and stopped to help. He picked up a pulse and I got a sheet to put over her until the ambulance came."
Barber Adhi Aziz, 41, said: "We were really busy on Saturday and didn’t see anything until all the police started to turn up.
"The lady was attacked outside the Westgate corner shop.
"My wife told me the woman was pushing a pram with a baby inside when she was stabbed."
The woman has not been named yet but her family have been informed.
Her killing has left Bradford in shock - with cops now desperately hunting suspect Masum.
Bradford West MP Naz Shah described the city centre killing as "really shocking".
She sent her condolences to the woman's loved ones and urged anyone with any information to get in touch with police.
