MULTAN: A model court in Multan on Friday sentenced slain Qandeel Baloch’s brother Wasim Khan to life in prison for murdering his sister.
Six including Mufti Abdul Qavi, Qandeel’s other two brothers, Aslam Shaheen and Arif were acquitted in the case.
Qandeel Baloch was strangled to death at her home in Punjab by her brother Waseem. Her father Muhammad Azeem Baloch had lodged a murder case against his son Waseem, accomplices Haq Nawaz and others. An affidavit submitted by the parents in 2016 also named two of other sons,
Aslam Shaheen and Arif.
Waseem had gone on record and admitted to drugging and killing his sister when he was presented before a special magistrate.The court on August 22, had rejected the appeal of slain model’s parents to pardon their sons for her murder.
During proceedings, Qandeel’s parents informed the court that they were only pardoning their sons and not others accused in the case, Mufti Abdul Qavi, Haq Nawaz, Abdul Basit and Zafar.

Baloch’s parents had earlier refused to pardon their sons for killing her and had called for capital punishment in the case.
Her father had said that he would be happy if his son and the three other accused were “hanged for their unforgivable crime”.
