Pakistani model’s brother says he drugged, strangled her

“There are other issues as well…”

Mufti Qavi was removed the committee that decides when Ramadan starts and ends by the government following the allegations.

Wasim Baloch confessed to murdering his sister and described it as an “honour killing”. He said he drugged her and then strangled her, adding he did not regret his action. Qandeel had come to celebrate Eid with her family in Multan and that’s when Waseem made a decision to end her sister’s life.

Qandeel’s father, Muhammad Azeem, had lodged the FIR and named his two sons for killing her in Multan where she had come from Karachi to live with her parents on the occasion of Eid. Her father claimed that she was killed by her younger brother, Waseem, in the name of honour. “My brother is not involved in the murder”, Waseem was quoted as saying.

Multan police chief Akram Azhar said authorities would seek the “maximum punishment” the killing.

Police was searching for the friends also.

As had been suspected before his arrest, Azeem was upset about Qandeel’s modeling and action on social media. Her brother had been threatening her over her Facebook posts and videos, said the police.

Although Baloch received frequent threats, Al Jazeera report that she had “appealed to the interior ministry to provide her with security for protection” prior to her death.

Qandeel Baloch, was known for posting videos on social media websites, was also married to a person named Aashiq Hussain, a native of Kot Addu, but got divorced.

The brother of Qandeel Baloch, whose risqué social media posts both titillated and appalled conservative Pakistan, today admitted to strangling her in a crime that reignited debate about so-called “honour killings” in the South Asian nation.

The funeral prayers of model Qandeel Baloch were offered in Dera Ghazi Khan’s Shah Sadar Din area on Sunday.
