DCI said Shanghani and the deceased lived as husband and wife and their three children, a four-year-old boy and two twins who were barely two months old.
Preliminary investigations, according to the DCI, indicated that the incident was a suicide case.
It was alleged that Nikesh took her life due to mistreatment by Shanghani.
It was alleged that Shangani was a drunkard and rarely provided for the family.
On the day of the tragedy, detectives say Shanghani had returned home late that night, but left at around 6 am after a heated argument.
He proceeded to an establishment at Galleria Mall, where he continued drinking with a friend.
"It also emerged that on the fateful morning, the deceased had handed their son to her next-door neighbour and asked her to proceed with him to the temple before she joined them," DCI added.
The twin sister to the baby found in the bedroom was said to be with the deceased's mother-in-law, who lived a few blocks away.
Multiple witnesses said that Nikesh was brought into the country from India a few years ago by her husband.
"Following the mysterious death, the woman’s body was cremated the following day April 4, at the Kariokor crematorium in accordance with the Hindu culture and religion."
DCI reported that questions emerged afterwards about the circumstances leading to the woman’s death leading to questions.
"After a forensic examination of the scene as later demonstrated by cyber forensics and imaging experts, homicide specialists could not rule out the possibility of foul play due to the position of the body and the knot patterns of the clothing that the deceased was found hanging on."
