A 22-year-old man has been arrested in Pakistan and confessed to the murder of 17-year-old social media influencer Sana Yousaf, according to police.
Authorities say they believe Umar Hayat murdered Ms Yousaf at her home in Islamabad on Monday after she rejected what they called his "offers of friendship". He allegedly also repeatedly tried, and failed, to meet her.
They say he broke into her home, fired two shots, stole her phone and fled.
Her last video on Instagram, posted last week, showed her surrounded by balloons and cutting a cake for her birthday.
Given her high profile in Pakistan, news of Ms Yousaf's death spread quickly in local news media and on social media platforms. It's also ignited a fierce debate about women on social media.
While many have shared their outrage at news of Ms Yousaf's death, there has also been backlash towards her work as an influencer.
Digital rights advocacy group Bolo Bhi has been monitoring the online reaction, and its director Usama Khilji said such criticism had been coming from a small portion of mostly male internet users - some of whom have cited religious grounds.
"They're asking why she was putting up all this content, and even suggesting the family should take down her Instagram and TikTok accounts because they add to her 'sins'," Mr Khilji explained.

islam is the cancer that will destroy life
RELIGION OF POS......................
Sounds like a nut.
Sounds like she was committing suicide although not intentionally. She was not exactly living in a tolerant Christian country. Leftists love Islam because it is against Christianity but they don’t know anything about what Islam will be like after Christianity is gone. Maybe they think they have a plan for that.
Everyone in this country that supports letting Muslims into the country supports this in this country...
This could be your daughter, wife, or mother next...
Plenty of illegal non-muslim sex perverts, and innocent, dumb, girls and women, ready to make money as digital flirts, and ho’s.
We should vet everyone coming in to the country.
She was expecting a Christian response. She chose poorly. It’s a society where men can own women.
Can't hide without it.
