A Google manager has been arrested and charged with murder after his wife was reported missing in Hawaii
Google product manager Sonam Saxena reportedly called the police in Anaehoomalu Bay, Hawaii, on Tuesday night begging for help — he said his wife, Smriti Saxena, had gone missing. Two days later he was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection with her disappearance.
The Seattle couple were vacationing in Hawaii and spending time on the beach Tuesday when Smriti began having an asthma attack, Sonam told West Hawaii Today on Wednesday. Sonam said he walked back to the Waikoloa Beach Marriot Resort to get his wife's asthma inhaler, and that when he returned, her phone and purse were still on the beach but Smriti was gone.
In addition to calling the police and giving an interview to West Hawaii Today, the 43-year-old product engineer tweeted a plea for help finding his wife, 41, Wednesday evening.
Later that day, Hawaii Island Police arrested Sonam and charged him with murder in the second degree after discovering a female body on the beach "in the general area where Smriti Saxena was reported as a missing person and last seen Tuesday evening," Hawaii police wrote in a news release. A Hawaii Island Police spokesperson told Business Insider that an autopsy was scheduled. Police have yet to positively ID the body.
Smriti and Sonam both lived and worked in the Seattle area, where Sonam worked for Google and Smriti worked for Microsoft.
Sonam moved to Seattle from India in 2008, initially working at SkyKick, a cloud-computing company. According to one of his coworkers, Sonam was known in the office for being personable and outgoing.
"SkyKick is a small company and he was always very pleasant to talk to, very conversational," SkyKick engineer Jianguo Jiang told Business Insider. (Disclosure: Jiang's daughter, Irene Jiang, is a Business Insider reporter.)
Jiang said that he rarely heard Sonam discuss his personal life or family and never heard anything to suggest that there was marital strife between the couple.
"This is a surprise to me — I wouldn't expect it," Jiang said. "I would not imagine he'd do it."
A representative for Google did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A Microsoft spokesperson declined to comment.

Netanyahu announces plans for 3,000 new settler homes near East Jerusalem
Netanyahu’s announcement, during an election campaign in which he has sought to shore up support from pro-settlement voters, was condemned by the Palestinians as another blow to their hopes for an independent state.
He has pledged to annex Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and the area’s Jordan Valley as part of an Israeli-Palestinian peace plan presented by U.S. President Donald Trump last month. Palestinians have rejected Trump’s blueprint as biased towards Israel.
Opponents of the project, in the Givat Hamatos area adjacent to the Palestinian neighborhood of Beit Safafa, said it would sever parts of East Jerusalem from the nearby Palestinian town of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.

Isis supporter Safiyya Amira Shaikh admits plot to bomb St Paul’s
An Isis supporter caught in a sting operation has confessed to plotting to attack St Paul’s Cathedral and a hotel in a suicide bombing.
Safiyya Amira Shaikh, 36, travelled to central London to scope out her target and provided two bags to undercover officers believing they were fellow jihadists who would kit them out with explosives.
Shaikh, who was born Michelle Ramsden, faces life in prison. She used an encrypted messaging service to promote Isis and plot with her would-be co-conspirators, whom she believed were an online explosives expert and his wife.
A court heard in October that she had “intended to kill herself and as many other people as possible”.
