The husband of Harshita Brella was arrested by police in September after she made a report of domestic abuse, a police watchdog has confirmed.<\/p>\n

An international manhunt has been launched for Pankaj Lamba after Ms Brella’s body was found in the boot of a car in Ilford<\/a>, east London, on 14 November.<\/p>\n

Police believe Ms Brella, 24, was fatally strangled in Corby, Northamptonshire, on 10 November and have named Mr Lamba, 23, as the prime suspect in the investigation.<\/p>\n

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it was investigating Northamptonshire Police after Ms Brella made a report of domestic abuse in August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Lamba was arrested on 3 September and released with bail conditions and a domestic violence protection notice, the IOPC added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

IOPC regional director Derrick Campbell said its investigation followed a self-referral from the police force.<\/p>\n

“We will be examining the police response to Ms Brella’s report of domestic abuse made at the end of August this year,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We will look into further contact Northamptonshire Police had with Ms Brella concerning the case.”<\/p>\n

Mr Campbell said the investigation would consider the actions and decisions taken by Northamptonshire Police in relation to its dealings with Ms Brella.<\/p>\n

He added: “We will be contacting Ms Brella’s family to explain our role and express our sincere condolences.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
