The brother of Pakistani social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch has been arrested for her murder.

Waseem Baloch, 25, was arrested in Dera Ghazi Khan in central Pakistan on Saturday night.





The Dawn newspaper said he had confessed to the murder, saying he drugged and strangled her "for dishonouring the Baloch name".


Qandeel Baloch, 26, became a household name for posting sometimes raunchy photographs, comments and videos.


She recently caused controversy by posting pictures of herself alongside a Muslim cleric.


Dawn quoted police as saying her selfies with Mufti Qavi were one of the issues cited by her brother.
