ISLAMABAD: In a chilling courtroom confession, 22-year-old Umar Hayat admitted to the murder of 17-year-old social media influencer Sana Yousuf, citing revenge as his motive for the shocking crime.
The confession was recorded under Section 164 of the Pakistan Penal Code before Judicial Magistrate Saad Nazir.
Revenge-Fueled Tragedy
