A California man allegedly killed his wife and burned her body before he told cops U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents took her into custody while she checked the mail.

Gurinder Gill, 28, stands accused of murder in the death of his 30-year-old wife Jasmine Gill.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said Jasmine Gill was last seen near her home in the area of Headstock St. and Allegretto Way in Sacramento on Sept. 30. Her cousin reported her missing on Oct. 4.

The suspect said ICE agents grabbed her in white, polka dot pajamas as she walked outside to get the mail. But ICE officials told detectives they had no operations in the area when the victim supposedly vanished.

Investigators also identified "several inconsistencies" in Gurinder Gill's account of his wife's disappearance. Cops also said they learned that the Gills were "engaged in an ongoing divorce and child custody dispute."

Deputies announced her disappearance on social media on Oct. 9. They later updated the post to say that "new information" led them to believe that she was "at-risk."

But Jasmine Gill was already dead.

On Oct. 1, officials in El Dorado County recovered a burned human body. Those remains were later identified as Jasmine Gill's. Authorities have not said how the victim died or where in El Dorado County they found the body.

Detectives executed two search warrants at homes "associated" with Gurinder Gill, though they did not say what turned up in those searches.

The suspect was taken into custody on Wednesday after he was charged with his wife's murder. He remains in the Sacramento County Jail without bond. His next court date is not listed.
