Brother of Pakistani model Qandeel Baloch has been arrested for allegedly killing her in what appears to be a case of honour killing'. Muhammad Waseem is accused of strangling his sister to death at her residence in Multan on Saturday.
Waseem Azeem runs a local cellular phone shop and is one of the six brothers of Qandeel. He was not happy with the kind of things Qandeel used to post online and was critical of her social media presence.
The police announced Waseem’s arrest at a press conference in which Waseem confessed his crime.
Wsaeem was recorded saying, “She was bringing disrepute to our family’s honour and I could not tolerate it any further. I killed her around 11.30pm on Friday night when everyone else had gone to bed. My brother is not involved in the murder.”
Baloch had been dominating the headlines after videos of her twerking to a song were deemed objectionable.
The actor-cum-model had earlier claimed that she was receiving death threats and had sought security for the same. However, when the ministry didn't respond to her application, she started planning to settle down abroad. Sources have said that her brother wanted her to quit modelling due to which she had escaped to Multan to stay away from her family.
