Cousin, not brother, strangled Qandeel to death: Polygraph test

Sunday, 31 July 2016 | PTI | Islamabad

Pakistani social media star Qandeel Baloch who was killed for bringing "shame" to the family by posting risque videos and posts on Facebook was strangled to death by her cousin and not by her brother, a polygraph test found on Saturday.

The main accused of the case Muhammad Waseem had earlier confessed that he had strangled his 26-year-old sister. However, the claim was rejected after a polygraph test of both the suspects.

According to the test, it was her cousin Haq Nawaz, not Waseem, who had strangled the social media to death on July 15 this year.

They said Waseem was holding the hands and feet of the slain model at the time of murder while Haq Nawaz strangled her, Geonews reported.

Before killing Qandeel, the suspects had drugged her and her parents, they added.

Sources said video and written statements of both suspects have also been recorded.
