A woman with a secret lover hired three contract killers to murder her husband - but they ended up befriending the man and staged his murder using ketchup packets.
The three paid assassins lost their nerve when it came to killing the man but instead the boyfriend of the woman has now committed suicide to avoid punishment for his role in the murder plot.
Police have identified the woman as Anupallavi and her lover as Humavanath Kumar, saying they put together the plan to kill Naveen Kumar in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
