November 26th 2024.
Harshita Brella, a 24-year-old woman, was tragically discovered in a silver Vauxhall Corsa in Ilford, South London, almost 100 miles away from her home in Corby. Her husband, Pankaj Lamba, had been on the run after Harshita had accused him of domestic abuse just weeks before she was believed to have been murdered and her body dumped in the car's boot.
According to reports, Harshita was thought to have been strangled to death in her hometown of Corby, Northamptonshire, on November 10. Her body was then driven all the way to Ilford, east London, where it was abandoned. The authorities have now launched an international manhunt for her husband, Pankaj Lamba, who has been identified as the main suspect in her murder.
In a recent update, the police watchdog revealed that Lamba had been arrested in September after Harshita had reported domestic abuse. The Independent Office for Police Conduct is now investigating the Northamptonshire Police's actions in regards to their contact with Harshita. Lamba had been arrested on September 3 and released on bail with conditions and a domestic violence protection notice.
In a statement, IOPC regional director Derrick Campbell stated that they will be investigating the police's response to Harshita's report of domestic abuse and any further contact they had with her and her husband. He also expressed their condolences to Harshita's family and assured them that they will be in touch to explain their role in the investigation.
In the meantime, the latest news from London includes the suspension of the Elizabeth line due to a signal fault, the progress of a new Tube line in South East London, and the upcoming opening of an American fast food chain's first UK restaurant.
In a tribute released by Harshita's family last week, they expressed their love and loss for her. They said that even though she had left this world, she will always remain in their hearts and their memories. They will never forget her and miss her every moment of their lives.
The police are appealing to anyone who may have been in the area of Corby Boating Lake, Cottingham Road, and Westcott Way on the evening of November 10 and may have dashcam footage or other information that could assist in the investigation. Detective Chief Inspector Johnny Campbell, who is leading the investigation, stated that Pankaj and Harshita were in the area of the boating lake on the night she went missing. They are asking for anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward and help bring justice for Harshita. The police are particularly interested in any dashcam footage from between 6pm and 9pm on that evening.
The family and friends of Harshita are devastated by her loss and are desperate for answers. They hope that with the help of the public and the authorities, they will be able to piece together what happened to her and find her killer.
