Husband of missing Manassas Park mom Mamta Kafle Bhatt set for December criminal trial

The husband of Mamta Kafle Bhatt, a missing mother from Manassas Park who disappeared in late July, is set to return to court Monday morning.

Already on a seemingly expedited timeline, Naresh Bhatt, 37, is scheduled to appear for a criminal trial on Dec. 9 to 11 and 16 to 18, though these times could change. He was charged with Prohibition Against Concealment of a Dead Body in connection with Mamta’s disappearance.

Prosecutors in the courtroom said the December trial date is "not convenient or fair to the commonwealth," due to the long list of witnesses they need to speak with and pushed for a February 2025 trial. The defense said they weren't available during that time.

Is anyone willing to give me a synopsis of some of the key things about this case that aren’t apparent in any random article? What do we know about the relationship and possible DV?
Are there any good articles I can be directed to?

Thanks friends!

The couple was married apx 3 years. In the past year they had a baby, bought a house, bought a new car, and both husband and wife started new jobs. Wife was thinking of leaving the husband and posted on several message boards. There was domestic violence and police had been called to the house previously.
