Facebook star killed ‘by brother for honor’ in PakistanMUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan: A Pakistani social media celebrity whose selfies polarized the deeply conservative Muslim country has been murdered by her brother in a suspected honor killing, officials said Saturday, prompting shock and revulsion. Apparently it was an incident of honor killing,” Sultan Azam, senior police officer in Multan, told Agence France-Presse. She was killed there Friday, police said, adding that the brother, Wasim, was now on the run. “Qandeel Baloch has been killed, she was strangled to death by her brother. I get so many calls where they tell me I’m their inspiration and they want to be like me,” she told AFP after posting a provocative selfie on Valentine’s Day.
