Mehak Sharma, a 19-year-old from Jogi Cheema village, was tragically found murdered at her Croydon residence in South London. Allegations from her family suggest that her 23-year-old husband, Sahil Sharma, had repeatedly threatened her and, ultimately, was responsible for her murder on a Sunday.

Worry set in when Madhu didn't receive Mehak's usual morning call on Monday, only to learn that Sahil was in custody, facing murder charges from the London Metropolitan Police.

The police are also appealing to neighbors for information to aid their investigation.
