Azeem said his sons were unhappy over Qandeel's 'achievements' and turned against her even though she supported them.

Mohammad Anwar Azeem, the father of Qandeel Baloch, Pakistan's internet sensation, who was strangled to death by her brother at her family home in Multan said on Monday that he wants his son to be shot.

According to a report, Anwar Azeem said that his sons were unhappy over “her achievements” and turned against her even though she supported them.

"I say he should be shot on sight. He suffocated my little one," Anwar Azeem said.

Recalling the condition of her daughter's corpse, Qandeel's mother said, "Her whole face was covered in bruises, her tongue was black, her lips were black."

"My husband and I fell deep asleep. We had drunk milk, it had been mixed with sedatives," she said referring to the night when Qandeel was choked to death by her brother, Wasim.

The 26-year-old Qandeel Baloch was killed at her home in central district of Multan. Her brother Muhammad Wasim had fled soon after the incident. He was arrested late on Saturday, Multan City police chief Azhar Akram said, and confessed to drugging then strangling her "for honour".

Qandeel was a media sensation, bold in her videos and considered quite controversial in the country. She shot to fame in Pakistan in 2014 after a video of her pouting for the camera.
