The parents of Pakistani social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch have spoken of their closeness to her and their bitterness towards their son, who has confessed to murdering her last week. Ms Baloch’s mother, Anwar Bibi, told BBC Urdu that her daughter had shared all her sorrows and secrets with her. Her father, Muhammad Azeem, said his son should be “shot on sight”. Mrs Bibi said her son had lost his mind because of taunts about his sister’s frank and often risque posts online. More than 500 people, almost all of them women, die in Pakistan every year at the hands of relatives who believe shame has been brought on their family.
