Islamabad: Pakistani internet sensation Qandeel Baloch’s brother Wasim Baloch on Sunday told police he did not regret killing his sister. Baloch was arrested late Saturday by police from Dera Ghazi Khan where he fled after murdering Qandeel Baloch. “Qandeel was bringing dishonour to the Baloch people and I could not tolerate that. Her issue with the clergyman had increased our troubles,” Baloch said. He said he drugged her and then strangled her, adding he did not regret his action.
“I proudly admit to murdering Qandeel and I have earned heaven and honour by providing relief to my parents and family. After the videos with Mufti Abdul Qawi went viral, I planned to murder her and was only waiting for the right moment,” he said. “Now everybody will remember me with honour that I have provided relief to my parents and brothers who were suffering for the last two decades because of her,” he said.

“Girls are born only to stay at home and to bring honour to the family by following family traditions. But Qandeel never did that. My friends would send videos and pictures of her on my mobile. Murdering her was better than committing suicide so I went ahead with my plan.”
