The businesswoman’s £40,000 Mercedes GLC 220 was later found parked on a residential street but there was no sign of Paria.
Tragically, police confirmed her body had been found in a suburban garden that belonged to her estranged husband Alireza Askari.
Askari, 41, has been charged with murder, preventing the lawful and decent burial of a body and assaulting a person occasioning them actual bodily harm.
An inquest heard today how Paria’s provisional cause of death was given as stab wounds to the neck and upper chest.
A full hearing will be carried out at South Wales Central Coroner’s Court on a date to be set.
Area coroner Patricia Morgan said: “On the basis of the evidence that has been set out to me this morning, I have reason to suspect that her death might be violent in nature.
“I have been informed by South Wales Police that there is an ongoing investigation and on that basis, I suspend the inquest until I am informed the criminal proceedings reach their conclusion.”
A desperate hunt was launched for Paria after her loved ones reported her missing.
Her disappearance was described as “totally out of character”.
Askari appeared at Cardiff Crown Court on April 22 alongside Maryam Delavary.
Delavary, 48, is accused of preventing the lawful and decent burial of a body and conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
A four-week trial is due to start in October.
