**London, November 20, 2024** – The family of Harshita Brella, a 24-year-old Indian woman found dead in a car boot in east London, is appealing for justice as British police hunt her husband, Pankaj Lamba, 23, for her murder. Northamptonshire Police released CCTV images and a timeline placing Ms. Brella’s death at her Corby home on November 10th. Preliminary findings suggest strangulation.
Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell stated that Lamba is suspected of transporting Ms. Brella’s body in a silver Vauxhall Corsa from Corby to Ilford, abandoning the vehicle and fleeing the country. Police are appealing for any information that could assist the investigation.
Ms. Brella’s heartbroken parents and sister, speaking to the BBC, described her as a kind woman who had moved to the UK in April after an arranged marriage. They revealed a history of domestic abuse, including an incident in August where Ms. Brella fled her husband due to violence and contacted her family in India. The family also confirmed that a domestic abuse order was in place.
Northamptonshire Police have launched an international manhunt for Lamba, with over 60 detectives involved in the investigation. The family hopes to bring Ms. Brella’s body back to India for a proper burial. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities continue to urge anyone with information to come forward.
