A bank worker strangled his wife with a vacuum cleaner extension pipe and burnt her body in a garden incinerator months after he married her to disguise the fact he was gay, a court has heard.
Jasvir Ram Ginday, 30, is accused of killing wife Varkha Rani, 24, following a lavish wedding ceremony in India just six months earlier.
Her charred remains were found by police at the couple's home in Walsall, West Midlands - the day after Ginday reported his wife missing.
Wolverhampton Crown Court yesterday heard Ginday allegedly carried out the brutal attack on his wife because he was unable to pretend to be straight.
The court heard he strangled his wife with a metal vacuum cleaner extension pipe before forcing her body into the 22-inch deep incinerator and setting it alight.
He also burnt his wife's wedding ring and bracelet which was engraved with their initials, the court heard.
Police attended the house on September 12 last year after Mr Ginday reported his wife missing.
However, officers did not find her body until the next day when they became suspicious of black smoke billowing from the property.
Prosecutor Debbie Gould said Ginday told officers his wife had assaulted him before walking out when he attended Walsall Police Station to report her missing.
