Inspector General of Islamabad Police revealed that the accused admitted to killing Sana after she repeatedly rejected his advances.
In an attempt to destroy evidence, he took her mobile phone with him after committing the murder. Police also stated that Umar had been persistently trying to contact her before the incident.
Sana’s father, Yousaf Hassan, said the family had no enmity with anyone and appealed to the government to ensure justice for his daughter.
