LAHORE: The case of murder of a photojournalist, Yousuf Khokhar, was registered against a woman who also confessed poisoning a struggling model, Areeba, to death, police said on Sunday.

The case against Tooba was registered with Model Town police on the complaint of Yousuf’s father Mubarak Khokhar.

Uzma Rao alias Tooba in her confessional statement told police that she had killed Khokhar by spiking his juice with cyanide at Model Town Park.

Giving “justification” for committing the crime, Tooba said the photojournalist had provided some of her nude pictures to her then husband, Babar Javed, who divorced her over the issue.

The photojournalist was found dead at Model Town Park on Dec 2, 2014.
