He will kill me: Indian woman found dead in UK allegedly warned her family about husband

Harshita Brella, the Indian woman found dead in London, UK, had allegedly warned her family that her husband would kill her only days before her body was discovered, reported TOI citing BBC.

"She said I will not go back to him. He will kill me," Harshita's mother Sudesh Kumari told BBC.

"He was making her life miserable," she added.


The family believes that Pankaj Lamba, the main suspect in the case, was in India. However, they claim that the local police is "not listening "to their repeated pleas. According to local police, UK authorities are yet to request their assistance in the matter.

The father of the victim has accused Lamba of domestic violence. Satbir Brella said, "She said 'he beat me really badly. He even beat me in the street'."

"My daughter was crying, crying so hard," he added.

The family also revealed that the victim had a miscarriage weeks before her death.

'Can't believe': Suspect's mother on murder charge on son

Lamba's mother, on the other hand, has said that she could not believe that her son would have killed her. "I don't know anything but I cannot believe this," Sunil Devi told the BBC.

"Some people even say he's been killed. We don't know what people are saying. I can't understand anything. We've left it to God," she added.

Police has suspected that the 24-year-old woman was strangled to death in Corby, Northamptonshire, on November 10, before being transported to Ilford, where her body was discovered on November 14 in the boot of a car.

Lamba was arrested on September 3 under a domestic violence protection order (DVPO), but was released on bail two days later.

The order prohibited him from harassing, pestering, or intimidating Harshita and required him to pay 480 Pounds in police costs.
