Police late on Saturday announced they had arrested Muhammad Waseem, the suspected murderer of social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch.

The police made the announcement in a press conference where the alleged killer was also presented before the media.

Responding to reporters’ questions, Waseem said that he had killed his sister Qandeel, whose real name is Fauzia Azeem, for posting controversial pictures and videos on Facebook.

“She was bringing disrepute to our family’s honour and I could not tolerate it any further. I killed her around 11.30pm on Friday night when everyone else had gone to bed. My brother is not involved in the murder,” said the murderer before being taken away by the police.
