During the investigation, the police confiscated the woman's mobile phone. He said on examining the woman's mobile phone, they found a message on Snapchat from a man which further raised suspicion. The investigators then picked up the man for interrogation and confiscated his mobile phone as well, Tanoli said, adding that, "they also found the woman's message on Snapchat and on probing him, the suspect revealed that he and the woman wanted to marry, but she had been forced into marrying the victim. The woman was in distress over her marriage against her will and told the suspect that she was thinking of committing suicide, Mr Tanoli quoted the suspect as saying. "However, the suspect told her to murder her husband instead and offered to help her in it," he said, adding that they planned the murder and the woman brought her husband to Daman-i-Koh where he attacked him. "During the scuffle between them, the suspect fired at Shakeel, which caused his death on the spot," SI Tanoli said, adding that after his confession, the police arrested the woman.
