Police are looking to investigate Shahnaz and Haq Nawaz for their “possible involvement” in Qandeel’s murder. “Shahnaz and Haq Nawaz, Qandeel’s sister and cousin, have been taken into custody for investigation in her murder case,” an investigation officer told reporters. After Qandeel’s murder, the PML-N government has announced enacting law to remove a loophole allowing other family members to pardon a killer. Pakistani police arrested on Monday the sister and cousin of Qandeel Baloch for their “possible involvement” in the murder of the social media celebrity who was killed by her brother for protecting the family’s ‘honour’. The ‘honour-killing’ had sent shockwaves across the country and triggered an outpouring of grief on social media for Qandeel.
