Pakistani social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch has been killed by her brother in an apparent 'honour killing' in the province of Punjab, police say.

Ms Baloch, 26, recently caused controversy by posting controversial pictures of herself on social media, including one alongside a Muslim cleric.

Police say she was strangled to death.

Cases of women being killed for 'dishonouring' their family are commonplace in Pakistan.

Qandeel Baloch became a household name for posting bold, sometimes raunchy, photographs, video and comments.

It's a reality that women may have to face in some parts of the world in 2016. Such a shame. I just don't understand it. How anyone can murder their sister in cold blood. It makes me sad.

Folks on here will be upset about that . Supposed to the actions of just a few.

Yeah. Women have it tough everywhere. And men. You will become a father soon, hence your panic. Chill. You know where this thread will go, surely? Small prurient minds ... Don't feed them.

I don't really care about the people with agendas on either side really. I just wanted to give the story some light. It's a shame the conversation is already had before it ever begins.

Look what Islam did they will say

Islam had nothing to do with it the other will say.

Meanwhile this poor woman is dead. Because she wanted to change her world and remove her chains. Frustrating.

Yep. Plenty of examples in Roman literature. Dumb stuff happens but surely you know the audience here;)

Absolutely correct, and the sad thing is the brother will most likely not face prosecution as current Pakistani law allows the family of the victim to pardon the murderer.

'Pakistani law allows the family of a murder victim to pardon the perpetrator. This practice is often used in cases of honor killings, where the victim and perpetrator frequently belong to the same family, in order to evade prosecution. The 2004 Criminal Law (Amendment) Act made honor killings a criminal offense, but the law remains poorly enforced.'

It is sad and all too frequent. To say Islam does not drive this is insane. Also insane is to suggest we test all Muslims or lump them all in one category. Islam and it's treatment of women is a big problem .
