The 26-year-old actress-cum-model was killed in central district of Multan on Friday night, police said on Saturday. Police said apparently she was killed by her brother named Wasim, who has fled after the incident. 

“She was suffocated to death by strangulation. It seems to be a case of honour killing but we are investigating it,” district police chief Azhar Akram said. Her real name was Fouzia Azeem but she chose Qandeel Baloch as her pseudonym after stepping into modelling.
