Pakistan’s social media was flooded with Qandeel Baloch’s alleged killing of model by her brother in Multan in Punjab province, becoming the latest victim of “honour killings” that plague the country. The 26 year old model was killed in central district of Multan on Friday night, said police.
Police stated that apparently she was killed by her brother named Wasim, who has fled after the incident. She was suffocated to death by strangulation. It seems to be a case of honour killing but we are investigating it, district police official. Her real name was Fouzia Azeem but she chose Qandeel Baloch for stepping into the gamour field. She is said to have received threats from her family to quit modeling and her provocative appearances on social media. Her brother had been threatening her over her Facebook posts and videos , said the police.
