The brother of Pakistan's social media star, Qandeel Baloch, has confessed to her murder. He was arrested in Dera Ghazi Khan Saturday night.
Waseem, 25, is charged with an honor killing. During a press conference with police, he stated, "She brought dishonor to the Baloch name," citing a recent incident when Qandeel posted for selfies with Muslim cleric Mufti Qavi. Waseem drugged and strangled Qandeel while their parents were sleeping on the rooftop of their home in Multan, claiming, "She wasn't aware I was killing her."
Waseem also said, "I am not ashamed. We are Baloch and as Baloch we cannot tolerate [this]."
Their father, Muhammad Azeem, had said that Waseem was encouraged by their brother Mohammad Aslam Shaheen to commit the murder. The police are searching for two men who accompanied Waseem after he fled Multan.
Baloch's funeral was held Sunday.
