In a terrifying incident, a brother strangulated his sister to death at their home in Toba Tek Singh city of the Pakistani province of Punjab. The horrible act, suspected to be honour killing, was captured on camera earlier this month and the footage has been doing rounds on social media on Thursday.

In the video, the man can be seen strangulating his sister, identified as 22-year-old Maria to death. Shockingly, the man carried out the inhumane act in the presence of their family members, including the victim's sister-in-law. After and the father later hands over a bottle of water to man he wad done killing the woman.

Two people arrested

According to local authorities, the crime happened midnight on March 17 and 18. The perpetrators had buried the woman's body. The police arrested two men after the crime came to the fore on March 24 and an FIR was registered.

The reason behind the horrific crime was not yet known. However, the crime sent shockwaves across social media, with many calling for strict action against those involved in the act.

Maria's honour killing bore resemblance to the murder of social media star Qandeel Baloch in 2016. Dubbed as Pakistan's Kim Kardashian, 26-year-old Baloch's brother Muhammad Waseem murdered her for "bringing dishonour" to the family. The case caught the attention of the country and was said to be the most high-profile honour killing in Pakistan in recent times.

Waseem, who admitted of having no remorse of killing his sister, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2019. However, he was released in 2022 after Baloch's mother pardoned him of the crime. A legal technicality in Pakistan allows a victim's mother to forgive the offender of the crime.
