Harshita Brella, 24, was discovered deceased in a silver Vauxhall Corsa in Brisbane Road, Ilford, east London, on 14 November 2024.
Her husband, Pankaj Lamba, 24, is the prime suspect in her murder and is believed to have fled to India.
A murder charge, alongside two counts of rape, sexual assault, and controlling or coercive behaviour, has been authorised against Lamba.
Northamptonshire Police believe Ms Brella was strangled in Corby on the evening of 10 November before her body was transported to Ilford.
Ms Brella’s family, including her sister Sonia Dabas, have travelled from India to the UK to campaign for justice, vowing to ensure her killer is brought to account.
