Corby residents react to investigation

Northamptonshire Police

Police are trying to piece together what happened to Ms Brella, who lived in Corby

People have spoken of their sadness and confusion after the suspected ******* of a woman whose body was found in the boot of a car more than 100 miles from her home.

Police believe Pankaj Lamba murdered his wife Harshita Brella in Northamptonshire earlier this month.

The 24-year-old’s body was discovered in Ilford, east London, and the suspect is believed to have fled the country.

“I don’t understand how people can do [something] like that,” said Aleksanders Nadejs, who lives in the same road as the couple in Corby.

“I’m feeling sad – I don’t understand.”

Prashant Odedara, who works at a nearby convenience store, said Ms Brella and Mr Lamba visited the shop “once or twice a week” and “didn’t talk much about themselves”.

“Unlike other customers they were very friendly. We didn’t know much about them… they were just quiet,” he said.

“They were like normal working people. What was happening in their personal private life we don’t know much about.”
