‘He will kill me’: Harshita Brella, Indian woman found dead in UK, warned family about husband – Times of India

Harshita Brella, the Indian woman found dead in UK, had allegedly informed her family that her husband would kill her days before her body was discovered in London.
“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 victim’s family believes that Pankaj Lamba, her husband who is the main suspect in the case, was in India, but they claim that the local police have been “not listening” to their pleas. According to local police, UK authorities are yet to request their assistance in the matter.
The father of the victim accused Lamba of domestic violence and said: “She said ‘he beat me really badly. He even beat me in the street’.”
“My daughter was crying, crying so hard, Satbir Brella said.
The family revealed that Harshita had a miscarriage in the weeks leading up to her death.
