Popular Pakistani model and social media personality Qandeel Baloch was killed by one of her brothers for “dishonoring” their family, police say.

Baloch was a an at-times controversial internet star who starred in viral videos – the provocative selfies she shared prompting her to be dubbed Pakistani’s own Kim Kardashian. She was murdered after her brother warned her to stop posting photos and videos on social media, her parents said according to The Express Tribune.

Just three weeks ago, she had asked police for protection after receiving numerous death threats, particularly on social media where she was the target of misogynist abuse.

Baloch’s brother Wasim, 30, is still at large, while her parents are in custody.
