HANOVER, MD. – Anne Arundel County Police are searching for a 24-year-old man suspected of killing his wife inside a Dunkin’ Donuts store in Hanover, Maryland, where they both worked.

Would-be customers walked up to an Anne Arundel County police officer just before 11 p.m. Sunday, April 12, 2015, to report that no one was inside the Arundel Mills Boulevard business.

The officer went inside the store and found 21-year-old Palak Bhadreshkumar Patel of Hanover lying in the kitchen area. Police say she was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to a preliminary investigation, Bhadreshkumar Chetanbhai Patel struck his wife multiple times with an object before leaving the area.
