She Was My Son, Not A Daughter: Qandeel’s Father

Qandeel Baloch’s father vows to pursue case against his son Waseem.

Even as the last rites of Pakistani social media star Qandeel Baloch were conducted in her ancestral village Shah Saddardin in Dera Ghazi Khan district on Sunday, the model’s father spoke out against his son Waseem, who has confessed to killing Qandeel.

Talking to media personnel, Qandeel’s father, Mohammad Azeem said he would pursue the case against Waseem.

She was my son, not a daughter. I have lost my son. She supported all of us, including my son who killed her.

Azeem added that his sons were unhappy over “Qandeel’s achievements” and turned against her even though she supported them, he said.

Before the funeral, women relatives of Qandeel applied henna to her hands and feet as per local tradition. Her mother repeatedly kissed her hands, according to sources. Her brothers and two married sisters were present to perform her last rites.

Meanwhile, a duty magistrate in Multan remanded her brother and confessed killer, Waseem, in police custody for three days.
