In September, a model court had sentenced the slain model’s brother, Waseem Khan, to life in prison for murdering his sister.

He had on record admitted to drugging and killing his sister when he presented before a special magistrate.

Six acquitted in the case including Mufti Abdul Qavi as well as Qandeel’s other two brothers, Aslam Shaheen and Arif.

On August 22, the court had rejected the August 21 appeal of late model’s parents to acquit their sons as they had forgiven them.

However, her parents had refused to pardon their sons and had called for capital punishment in the case.

Qandeel’s father said he would be happy if his son and the three other accused “hanged for their unforgivable crime”.
