After murdering the family members, Fawad tried to end his life as well.

According to Fawad’s confessional statement, he was also running a trading business with the collaboration of some investors besides doing a job in which he faced losses, whereas, he and his wife usually fights at home. Fawad said that he was totally fed up with his life.

Due to the pressure of investors and the continuous ‘misbehaviour’ of my wife, I decided to kill my family and myself, Fawad said.
