Woman arrested in deadly wedding plot

Police said Wednesday they arrested a woman for allegedly plotting with her newly married niece to poison the young woman’s husband with tainted milk that would eventually kill him and 17 other relatives.

Investigators believe the boyfriend of 21-year-old newlywed Aasia Bibi incited her to kill her husband, Mohammad Amjad, by poisoning his milk with rat poison because she was not happy in her arranged marriage.

Police said Amjad did not drink the milk Bibi prepared on Oct. 24 but it was later found by his mother-in-law who unwittingly used the tainted milk to make a traditional yogurt drink the following day.
