Police has described the death of a 26 year old Qandeel Baloch as 'honour killing' in the province of Punjab. Qandeel was strangled by her own brother after he had warned her to quit modelling. She
recently caused controversy by posting controversial pictures of herself on social media. Her brother, Wasim, was upset about her uploading controversial pictures online and had threatened her about it. Police said she was strangled to death last night by her brother.
Cases of women being killed for 'dishonouring' their family are commonplace in Pakistan. Qandeel Baloch, who is also the first social media celebrity and often described as Pakistan's Kim Kardashian, became a household name for posting bold, sometimes raunchy, photographs, video and comments online.
Her Parents have been detained since the killer has been on the run.
