The woman's husband, who made the call for help, according to South Jersey Observer, told Medford Twp. police wife was tired and had laid down for a nap.

In the home's master bedroom, police reportedly discovered the dead body of 41-year-old Angammal Babu.

However, officials point to Babu's husband, Babu Natarajan, as her killer after an autopsy revealed she had signs of strangulation or asphyxiation on her neck. Her death was officially ruled a homicide by the Burlington County Medical Examiner.

Natarajan was arrested Wednesday. The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office has charged him with Murder in the First Degree. Natarajan remains in Burlington County Jail in Mt. Holly pending an appearance in court.
