Slain model Qandeel Baloch laid to rest in DG Khan village

MULTAN: Social media star Qandeel Baloch, who was strangled to death by her brother in an apparent 'honour-killing', was laid to rest in Dera Ghazi Khan on Sunday.

Relatives and a large number of local residents attended Qandeel's funeral prayers in Shah Sadar Din village, around 130 kilometers from Multan.

The model’s body was brought to Shah Sadar Din village this morning.

The brother of the controversial social media celebrity has been arrested for her murder, confessing he strangled Qandeel Baloch for "honour", police said.

The killing of Baloch, judged as infamous by many in Pakistan for her provocative selfies and videos, has sent a wave of shock and revulsion through the country.

Her brother Wasim was earlier presented before the media in a press conference where he confessed to his crime. The suspect has now been handed over to police today on a three-day physical remand by a local court.
