I don’t think anyone is that surprised about his arrest

[violetmilan]

I’m amazed how her friends have her back so much. True friends!! So sad outcome. I hope her daughter gets all the love and care she needs.

The baby is with social services, she has no family here... poor woman was all alone with that pig

[vickytt]

Last seen date provided by the husband should be questioned. He could have made that up because she was supposed to be at work on August 1.

[lauriewood]

If they have not found the body how do they know he concealed it? Im confused.

[eternal.faith]

she is right, a mother DOESNT leave her baby. it’s so heartbreaking one year ago she was celebrating being a mother for the first time and the life of her child. now a year later it’s her on the other side of life at the hands of her husband, her child’s father. it’s absolutely SICK how he has been caring for the child all this time while she’s been missing. my heart breaks for this situation!

Us Nepalese people do not claim this man

[jenniferdobyns]

This is happening way too frequently. Just horrific. 😢

[julieazim]

So sad 😢why kill her? These men have no empathy for their own wife used them to cook and clean and bear kids and beat and kill them. This is happening too much nowadays .

[jaydenp]

Why do they always think they will get away with it ? Guess they would rather live in prison than get a divorce. Ridiculous!

[buddyhoussain]

If you guys know the meaning of her name you would scream.
Mamta means " mothers love"
Of the love of a mother

What he took from his baby.

[danielle]

How do you get charged with concealing a body if there is no body???

[GigglingHamster]

How they charge him with concealing a body if they don’t know anything??

[missduday]

As long as he doesn't cooperate in investigations the case is still unknown and it took a long time to find the nody of his wife..😢😢😢 justice for her..

[Incredible]

Omg poor baby. 😢 I hope he tells the truth

[manjudhaliwal]

Where are his parents/family/supports ???

[shaistaijaz]

If police would have searched inside the house earlier he would’ve been arrested way sooner 😢

[Khadija]

I’m so glad her mom is getting visa to take care of the baby. So sad all around. Heartbreaking for the baby and the girl

[tanyathompson]

I just watched the interview yesterday where the news lady was asking him a lot of questions about his wife: he was too calm and said she has done this before which I knew then he had to have murdered her. Poor woman. She was so beautiful and that poor child will grow up not knowing her. Breaks my heart. 😢

they haven't said anything about his job, or other personal information. Husband claims he saw her 7/31, I don't believe him, if he's lying now, he was lying then.
