The parents of a murdered woman whose body was found in a car boot have said they “want justice” for their daughter. 

An international manhunt is under way for the husband of Ms Brella, of Corby, after Northamptonshire Police named Pankaj Lamba as the prime suspect in the murder of 24-year-old Harshita Brella. 

Speaking from India, Ms Brella’s mother, Sudesh Kumari, told BBC News: “I just want justice for my daughter.”

Her father, Satbir Brella, said: “I want my son-in-law to be brought to justice and I want my daughter’s body brought home.”

A murder inquiry was launched after Ms Brella’s body was found inside the boot of a vehicle on Brisbane Road in Ilford, east London, close to an entrance to Valentines Park in the early hours of Thursday.
