LONDON: The body of a 24-year-old woman, who was allegedly murdered by her husband and reported missing on April 30, has been recovered from the River Thames by detectives.
Murder investigators recovered Suma Begum’s body on Wednesday, shortly after a member of the public called the Metropolitan Police, the BBC reported on Friday.
Begum was reported to have gone missing from Orchard Place in Tower Hamlets, London.
Police confirmed that the body had been recovered in Thamesmead and a formal identification had been scheduled. However, police have updated the Begum family and a post-mortem is set to take place.
The woman’s husband, Aminan Rahman, 45, of Orchard Place, was charged with her murder on May 4.
Appearing via video link from HMP Pentonville, Rahman addressed a court through a Bengali translator on Tuesday.
The court judge ordered that Rahman be detained ahead of a plea and trial preparation hearing on July 25.
