A post-mortem examination revealed that the woman whose body was discovered in the car’s boot last week had strangled to death.
Police are searching for Pankaj Lamba, the husband of Harshita Brella, who they suspect has left the country.
Her body was found today in a silver Vauxhall Corsa, according to officers.
They think she was driven early in the morning from the couple’s home in Corby, Northamptonshire, to Ilford, in east London, and slain on the evening of Sunday, November 10.
