Exactly 13 weeks after the discovery of the body of Amarjit Chohan,
an NRI millionaire businessman, the body of his wife Nancy was found
floating in the sea on July 15, Scotland Yard said today.
Nancys body was found in Poole Bay, Dorset. A post-mortem examination
was carried out the following day and DNA tests confirmed it was her
body, a Scotland Yard spokeswoman said.
She said detectives were not releasing a cause of the death at this
stage but are treating her death as murder.
Chohan, 46, who had a £ 4 million worth fruit import business,
went missing from his home in Heston, West London, with Nancy, 25, her
sons Devinder and Ravinder and her mother Charanjit Kaur, 51, on February
16.
A police investigation was launched after an alarm was raised by Nancys
brother, a resident of New Zealand.
He flew in here after finding no response from Nancy to repeated telephonic
calls. Chohans body was found floating in the sea close to Bournemouth
Pier in Dorset on April 22.
The rest of the family remain missing. Peter Rees, 38, of Kings
Close, Hampshire, has been charged with the murder of Chohan and with
preventing his burial.
