In 2016 Person A sent a message to Wife W " I am the one who bring you till severe situations... by making you closer and closer step by step..."

is this helpful in court if wife W committed suicide in 2017 ?
Can we add IPC for planned murder like if someone giving a slow poition in food for few months and that person died same as in my case can we add planned murder act?

Sir,

Only the messages won't help, I mean they can be a corroborative peace of evidence but not substative to come to a conclusion.

Some chain of events or evidences must be linked to use those messages, For more you can read my blog regarding the evidentairy value of these messages.

Warm Regards

It depends on circumstances. If the message is collaborated and is in consonance and furtherance of offence then such messages are also relevant to draw an inference but mere such message does not constitute alleged crime.
