An extract: “She had contacted Northamptonshire Police on 29 August 2024, reporting that Lamba had allegedly attacked her at their shared address in Corby. Lamba, who was in the UK on a student visa while studying management and working part-time as a security guard, was arrested on 3 September.

Officers released him on bail with conditions prohibiting contact with his wife and issued a domestic violence protection order.

Despite these measures, Ms Brella was dead within weeks of making her complaint.

A manhunt for Lamba continues, with investigators believing he remains in India.

Northamptonshire Police referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct following Ms Brella’s death, a mandatory requirement given officers’ prior contact with the victim.

The IOPC investigation concluded that four officers should face misconduct proceedings over how they handled the young woman’s domestic abuse allegations.

“It is our view the officers may potentially have breached police standards of professional behaviour,” the watchdog stated last November.
