country
Ms Baloch's parents told The Express Tribune

night following an argument with her
brother.
They said her body was not discovered until
Saturday morning. Her parents have been
taken into custody, the Tribune reported.
Ms Baloch had gone to Punjab from Karachi
because of the threat to her security, police
say.
"[Her] brothers had asked her to quit
modelling," family sources quoted by the
Tribune said.
Sources quoted by the newspaper said that
Wasim was upset about her uploading
controversial pictures online and had
threatened her about it.
Police said he had not been arrested and was
on the run.
