In Pakistan, a man who confessed to killing a-hundred boys has admitted his guilt before a court in the city of Lahore.

Javed Iqbal said he knew he was guilty and that he would accept whatever form of punishment the court thought fit.

He was presented with a police report on the case and given seven days to read it.

He's then likely to be formally charged.

Iqbal has said that he carried out the murders over the past year, and most of his victims are believed to have been street children. Three boys aged under eighteen are accused of being Iqbal's accomplices and they were also given copies of the police report at the court hearing.
