Singapore police have been looking for 34-year-old Harvinder Singh to help in their investigations into the death of his wife Jasvinder Kaur, 33, who worked as a beautician here.
Harvinder, said to be from Kurukshetra in Haryana, had left Singapore via a checkpoint about half an hour before his wife's body was discovered, The Straits Times reported today.
A fork lift driver Gursharan Singh, 25, has been charged with Kaur's murder and remanded for psychiatric assessment. Police had previously said Gursharan was a friend of Harvinder, who worked as senior logistics coordinator.
Gursharan is accused of killing Kaur with an unknown man sometime between December 10 and December 12.
