ABBOTTABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 27th Jun, 2026) Police have solved the blind murder case of a Bykea rider who was shot dead in the Kukmang Doga area earlier this month, arresting the prime suspect through technical surveillance, scientific evidence, and professional investigation.
According to police, the victim, Usama, son of Mir Akbar and a resident of Nawanshehr, was murdered after being hired for a ride from Abbottabad to Kukmang. The FIR was registered on June 15 on the complaint of the victim's brother-in-law, Zubair.
Police said investigators analyzed the call detail records (CDRs) of the deceased, local residents, and several suspects, while also examining forensic evidence collected from the crime scene. Technical tracing of the victim's stolen mobile phone led investigators to the prime suspect, identified as Kamil alias Kami, son of Javed and a resident of Pathar Gali, who was subsequently arrested.
During interrogation, the suspect allegedly confessed that he had planned the crime due to financial difficulties.
