The brother of a Pakistani social media star strangled to death has been arrested for her murder and confessed to killing her "for honour", police said Sunday.
"The police arrested Muhammad Wasim, brother of Qandeel Baloch, for killing his sister late on Saturday," Multan City police chief Azhar Akram told AFP.
"Wasim confessed to his crime, saying he killed his sister for honour after her recent objectionable videos, mostly posted on Facebook."
Wasim told police he drugged his sister and then strangled her.
Baloch rose to fame for her provocative Facebook posts that saw her praised by some for breaking social taboos but condemned by conservatives.
She was killed on Friday night at her family's home near Multan and her body was discovered on Saturday.
Wasim went on the run and was arrested late Saturday in neighbouring Muzaffargarh district.
