Brother Who Killed Pakistan’s Kim Kardashian Says, “No regrets”

On Friday night, Pakistan‘s Kim Kardashian also known as the country’s first social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch, 25, was killed by her brother in an apparent ‘honour killing,’ for posting controversial pictures of herself on social media, in the province of Punjab.

According to Mirror, 26-year-old Muhammad Waseem, in an apparent ‘honour killing,’ strangled his sister to death because, according to him, “she brought dishonour to the Baloch name” due to controversial photos of herself and statements that she posted on social media including one alongside a Muslim cleric.

The deceased body of the victim whose brothers had reportedly asked her to quit modelling was not discovered until Saturday morning, as her parents have been taken into custody.

After killing his sister, he went on the run.

On Saturday night, Waseem who went on the run after committing the act was later arrested by authorities in Dera Ghazi Khan, central Pakistan.

Following his arrest, Waseem defended the murder by blaming Baloch’s social media presence and “shameful” photographs, even though Baloch’s modeling career was the family’s chief source of income.

“Money matters, but family honor is more important,” he said, adding that people often taunted him about his sister’s photos.

In his words, defending the murder: “She was on the ground floor while our parents were asleep on the roof top. It was around 10:45 pm when I gave her a tablet and then killed her. She wasn’t aware I was killing her.

”I am not embarrassed at all over what I did. I have no regret.”

Narrating how Waseem carried out the killing, City police chief Azhar Akram said he had killed her by covering her mouth and nose, adding that he will be charged with carrying out a so-called honour killing and seek the “maximum punishment”.

Qandeel described as Pakistan‘s Kim Kardashian rose to fame for her provocative posts that saw her praised by some for breaking social taboos but condemned by conservatives.

Some called her death “good news” and even praised her suspected killer. Others said it was wrong to condone her murder, even if she was flawed. Some showed outright support.

Under Islamic law in Pakistan, those responsible for an “honor killing” can escape punishment if the victim’s family pardons the murderer.
