According to the suspect, on the day of Dr Warda’s murder, another accused, Shamrez, instructed him to dig a pit.
Adil said he, along with a man named Faisal, dug the pit and subsequently buried the victim’s body. The planning for the murder was reportedly carried out at a house in Shahzaman Colony.
Adil was produced before the Anti-Terrorism Special Court. The court ordered that he be sent to jail on judicial remand.
Police confirmed that items recovered based on Adil’s statements include Dr Warda’s mobile phone, ATM card, driving license, and passport-size photographs.
So far, five suspects have been arrested in connection with the case. In addition, Shamrez, one of the main accused, was killed in a police encounter on Thandiani Road near Mera Rehmat Khan Kunda.
Police stated that Shamrez was being tracked through mobile data at the time of the encounter. Two other accomplices managed to escape, and police raids are ongoing to apprehend them.
Dr Warda was posted at the DHQ Hospital, Abbottabad. She was reportedly kidnapped and killed in a premeditated act by someone close to her.
Abbottabad Police officials have confirmed that all main suspects in the case have been either arrested or neutralised, and investigations are ongoing.
DPO Abbottabad Haroon Rasheed told a press conference that the case is now under control, but efforts continue to apprehend the remaining fugitives involved in the murder.
