Multan, Pakistán.- 's brother Qandeel Baloch, a popular Pakistani model in social networks but condemned by conservative bodies, said Sunday that regretted not having killed by his "intolerable behavior."
"Yes, of course, strangled her," said Muhammad Wasim to the media at a press conference organized by the police in the city of Multan in Punjab province.
"I was on the ground floor while our parents slept upstairs. It was 22h45 when I gave him a pill and I killed her, "said Wasim, who said he acted alone.
"Not at all I am sorry for what I did," he said, saying his behavior was "completely intolerable".
Baloch, whose real name was Fauzia Azeem, was killed on Friday night at his home in Multan. His brother was arrested on Saturday after being denounced by his father and Sunday appeared briefly in court which will have to return in hearing Wednesday.
In Pakistan every year thousands of women die in so-called "honor crimes". In many cases the perpetrators, who are often relatives of the victims, are free because Pakistani law allows the family to forgive the murderers.
The murder has shocked the country and on Saturday held a vigil in Lahore, while a request for justice has already gathered thousands of signatures.
Meanwhile the Dawn, the country's largest English-language newspaper called for the death of the young serve as a "boost" to legislate against such crimes.
