Qandeel Baloch Death

The brother of a Pakistani social media star who was murdered in one of the country's most notorious "honour killings" was acquitted on Monday after serving less than six years in prison, lawyers said.

A prominent Pakistani cleric, who fled from a court in Multan following rejection of his bail plea today, was arrested in connection with the murder of social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch.

Pakistan's ruling party plans to pass long-delayed legislation against 'honour killings' within weeks in the wake of the high-profile murder of an outspoken social media star, the daughter of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said today.

A prominent Muslim cleric in Pakistan who was censured for appearing in "selfie" photographs with murdered social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch is being investigated in connection with her killing, police said on Monday.

Pakistani model-cum-actress Qandeel Baloch, who was strangled to death by her brother in the name of "family honour" two days ago, was laid to rest in a local graveyard at her ancestral village near Multan, a media report said today.

Qandeel Baloch, known for posting bold videos and statements on Facebook, was strangled by her own brother three days ago, the Dawn newspaper quoted police officer Azam Sultan as saying
