Waseem was arrested by Punjab police on Saturday night for murdering his sister to which he confessed.
The brother of Pakistan's social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch was arrested in Punjab province on Saturday night for strangulating to death the 26-year-old model for "dishonouring" the family' reputation, the latest case of honour killings that plague the country.
Qandeel's younger brother Waseem was arrested in Dera Ghazi Khan and later was presented in a press conference by CPO Multan. At the conference he not only confessed to have drugged and strangled his sister, he also said that he was proud to admit that he had killed her.
According to a report in Tribune.com.pk, Waseem said, "I proudly admit to murdering Qandeel and I have earned heaven and honour by providing relief to my parents."
He further said that although he was a drug addict, he was in his senses when he murdered her. He said that he doesn't need a lawyer since he has no regrets for what he has done, said the report.
"Girls are born only to stay at home and to bring honour to the family by following family traditions but Qandeel had never done that. My friends used to send me videos and pictures on my mobile and everyone in the mobile market was sharing pictures and videos of her with me. Murdering her was better than committing suicide so I went with the former plan," Tribune quoted him as saying.
"She wasn't aware I was killing her. I gave her a tablet and then strangled her," he said.
In his police complaint, Qandeel's father said his daughter came to Multan from Karachi to celebrate Eid with the family. He said Waseem, 25, also came to meet them on July 14.
He said that he along with his wife went to sleep on the rooftop while Qandeel slept in a room where Waseem strangled her to death as he was against her working in showbiz.
The father alleged that Waseem had taken this extreme step at the behest of his brother Mohammad Aslam Shaheen.
Her real name was Fouzia Azeem but she chose Qandeel Baloch as her pseudonym after stepping into modelling.
Qandeel became famous through her tireless self-promotion and suggestive "selfies" posted on social media and had amassed tens of thousands of followers.
