Naresh Bhatt, a Virginia man who was previously charged with concealing a dead body, has since been charged with the murder of his missing wife, Mamta Kafle Bhatt.

The husband accused of killing missing Manassas Park mother, Mamta Kafle Bhatt, appeared before a Prince William County Judge Wednesday morning for new murder charges.

A grand jury has handed up a murder indictment against a man whose wife disappeared this July, sparking a flurry of concern in the Nepalese community of Northern Virginia and beyond for the nurse and young mother.
