A woman’s online fame ended in honor murder by her own brother

Evidence

Framed as an honor killing by the press, public rage was directed toward her brother who confessed to having drugged and strangled his sister because of the shame her identity revelation brought to their family honor (Yusuf, 2016). Mufti Qavi, initially suspected and then released, has been offi- cially implicated a year after the murder (Subhani, 2017). — Crystal Abidin and Megan Lindsay Brown (eds.), Microcelebrity Around the Globe, 1009
