Waseem Azeem, who was accompanied by police, confessed in a news conference on Saturday to drugging and strangling his sister, 26-year-old Qandeel Baloch. He said that through her risque videos and social media posts "she brought dishonour to the Baloch name," the local newspaper Dawn reported.
Baloch died Friday when one of her six brothers strangled her to death as she slept in the family’s home in the province of Punjab, police said.
“Apparently the lady died of suffocation, but final opinion on her death would be possible only after report of chemical examination comes,” said Mushtaq Ahmed, who was among the team that conducted Baloch’s autopsy. “She might have been given some poisonous substance before being strangled.”
Multan police chief Akram Azhar said authorities will charge Azeem with carrying out an "honor killing." They will seek the “maximum punishment,” he added.
