Emergency services were called to the incident at 4.40pm, however Mr Hussain was pronounced dead at the scene, with the cause of death later confirmed as a single stab wound to the lung.
A murder investigation was launched by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, and detectives discovered that Islam, the man identified as the main suspect, had taken a flight to Bangladesh the day after the murder, in order to evade arrest.
On 22 May, Islam was arrested at Gatwick Airport as he arrived back in the UK from Bangladesh, and was charged with murder.
Following a nine-day trial which concluded yesterday (Tuesday), he was found guilty and will now serve a life sentence.
Waryam, his family said: "Waryam was a huge part of our family’s life and we are still shocked and adapting to his loss up until today. This will be a lifelong process and is something no one should have to go through."
Detective Inspector Phil Moss, in charge of the investigation, said: "The conviction of Islam should serve as a stark warning to those who carry, or are considering carrying knives.
"Two lives have now been ruined and two families devastated, all because of this single act. This is the tragic consequence of carrying a knife.
“I would also like to thank the local community for its tremendous support during the investigation.”
