Hannah suspect's wife re-questioned

Maninder Pal Singh Kohli flew to India on 18 March

The wife of the prime suspect in the Hannah Foster murder inquiry has been questioned by detectives for a second time.

The woman was questioned at a Southampton police station on Wednesday.

She is the wife of 35-year-old Maninder Pal Singh Kohli who is being hunted by Hampshire detectives in India.

He fled to the subcontinent on 18 March, four days after Hannah vanished near her home in Portswood, Southampton.

Her body was found two days later in undergrowth in nearby Allington Lane, West End.

Mr Singh's wife attended the police station in response to a bail date that had been set when she was first questioned not long after he fled the country.

She was again released on police bail to a date in June pending further police inquiries.

Three detectives from Hampshire Constabulary, currently based in New Dehli, are due to head to the suspect's home town of Mohali in the next few days.

Mr Singh is believed to have spent a week to 10 days there with his family soon after arriving in India.

Hannah's body was found on 16 March

Police also want to question his brother, Isthpreet Singh, a serving Indian police officer.

The constable said his brother had said nothing about Hannah during his recent visit.

"We don't know whether he has committed the crime or not, but his disappearance is certainly causing us an extreme amount of anxiety," he said.

Hampshire police first searched the suspect's home in Broadlands, Swaythling, Southampton, in March, after a tip-off from a viewer of the BBC Crimewatch programme.
