THE tragic death of Harshita Brella raises serious questions about statutory agencies’ failure to safeguard migrants subjected to domestic violence, campaigners warned today.
Police believe that Ms Brella, an Indian citizen living in Northamptonshire, was murdered by her husband, Pankaj Lamba.
In September, the 24-year-old was the subject of a domestic violence protection order, which told Mr Lamba not to harass, pester or intimidate her.
