Qandeel’s father, Muhammad Azeem, after her death had filed a police report against his sons. In an interview with BBC, the social media starlet’s parents spoke about their daughter’s murder and their relationship with her prior to her death.

Amnesty International welcomed the decision of Punjab authorities to register Qandeel Baloch’s murder as a crime against the state, and refuse her family the legal right to grant their son clemency.

“I say he should be shot on sight. He suffocated my little one,” Baloch’s father Muhammad Azeem said, referring to his son Waseem who killed Baloch. “We were drugged, asleep upstairs. She must have called out to us,” her father revealed. Azeem described Baloch as his “best friend,” but claimed that his son Waseem had been “crazed.”
