In a society which values sons over daughters, Muhammed Azeem was different; he never discriminated between Qandeel Baloch and her brothers.

Her brother strangled her to protect the family’s “honour”, but Azeem says he will make sure his son is punished, even if it means his execution at the hands of law.

Pakistan sees over 1,000 honour killings of women and has loopholes in the law, which allows the murderer to walk scot-free, if he is “forgiven” by the family.
