The police made the announcement in a press conference where the alleged killer was also presented before the media.
Responding to reporters’ questions, Waseem said that he had killed his sister Qandeel, whose real name is Fauzia Azeem, for posting controversial pictures and videos on Facebook.
“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,” said the murderer before being taken away by the police.
Police had earlier said that Qandeel’s brother had been threatening her to stop posting photos and videos on Facebook. According to some reports, the murderer had escaped with Qandeel’s wallet, jewellery and cell phone.
“Qandeel Baloch has been killed, she was suffocated to death by her brother, apparently, it was an incident of honour killing,” Regional Police Officer Sultan Azam had told reporters.
No marks of torture were found on Qandeel’s body, said another senior police official. The post-mortem of her body was conducted at Multan’s Nishtar Hospital.

Qandeel was in Multan to visit her parents as her father had been unwell, and spent Eid with her family, her mother told police.
Her brother, who was identified by the police as Waseem, went to meet her at night. When Qandeel was asleep at night, he suffocated her by using a pillow.
Qandeel’s father Azeem stated in the First Information Report to the police that his sons Aslam Shaheen and Waseem were responsible for their sister’s death.

Request for security ignored:
Three weeks ago, Qandeel had written to the interior minister, the director general of the Federal Investigation Authority (FIA) and the senior superintendent of Islamabad asking them to provide security to her and has requested action against those who made her identification documents public via social media.
She had said her life is in danger and that she is being threatened via calls on her mobile number and that she did not have security measures installed in her home.

  1. She exposed real face of “ZIONIST secret agents planted within Islam to Destroy Islam”. If she had kept her own Pistol for her self defence and did not trust her own family and law enforcement agencies, she may never got killed.

    • what an idiot…blaming zionist because a stupid brother kills his sister for a sick sense of honor?

    • Her brother drugged her, and suffocated her in her sleep. What good is a pistol going to do her in that scenario? Think your ideas through before stating them, or believing them. It doesn't take much rational thought to debunk that one.

  2. Pakistan always gets the international attention for all the wrong reasons. First we kill to protect the faith and then we kill to protect our honour. What honour lies in such actions?

  3. When you have a culture and mindset with feudal paradigms in conflict with digital age of communication with gender equality, freedom of speech and expression, internationally recognised human norms, there will be many a women slaughtered on the alter of outdated and outmoded feudal beliefs and practices. Every era has its own unique cultural norms, beliefs and paradigms, when you live in the modern era but you mind is trapped in the past century, if you do not cange fast enough, you will find yourself in history's scrap yard.
