Today, Pakistani social media sensation 26 year old actor-cum-model Qandeel Baloch was shot dead by her own brother in Multan in Punjab province, becoming the latest victim of "honour killings" that plague the country. He had earlier threatened to kill her for posting photos and videos on social media. This news of her death comes three days after it was revealed that she had married thrice. Police said that, "She was suffocated to death by strangulation. It seems to be a case of honour killing but we are investigating it".
The brother named Wasim has run away from the crime scene. According to reports she had said her life is in danger and that she is being threatened via calls on her mobile number and that she did not have security measures installed in her home and also three weeks ago, she had written to the interior minister, the director general of the Federal Investigation Authority (FIA) and the senior superintendent of Islamabad asking them to provide security to her. She had expressed her desire many times to marry ex-cricketer and opposition politician Imran Khan.
