A release from the Met Police on Thursday said that Tarsame Singh appeared in the court on Thursday on charges of murdering his 77-year-old wife Maya Devi.
The BBC reported that Maya Devi was beaten to death at her residence.
Reports said Singh handed himself in at a police station near the couple’s home in Hornchurch, east London, on Tuesday evening, after which officers arrived with paramedics, where Maya Devi suffered serious head injuries.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Rogers said: “Although one person remains in custody, this is still an active investigation and we are gathering as much information as possible.”
The police have sought any information from the locals regarding the crime to help them solve the case.
“We have a family desperately trying to understand what happened – your information may give them the answers they need and deserve,” Rogers said.
