Senior HSBC clerk Bindi Dhanji, 31, disappeared from Sthe outhwark Crown Court on Tuesday after meeting with her lawyers.
She has been found dead with her husband Kishore. Their bodies were found hanging from a footbridge near their London home.
Dhanji and Kishore met legal team before sentencing on Tuesday morning, but the pair fled before her case was heard.
Explaining her disappearance to the court on Tuesday her lawyer, Richard Parry, said: "She clearly seems to have panicked. She seemed to be, I thought, fairly stoical about the outcome. Her husband took a different view, he seemed to place too much reliance on the pre-sentence report."
Judge Anthony Pitts then issued a bench warrant for Dhanji's arrest, saying: "It does seem like she has taken flight at first glance, I must confess, from what you have told me. It's not unknown, but it is a slightly unusual situation given that she was here this morning."
