According to police, investigators said the father killed his 16-year-old daughter "for honor" and the victim's family initially tried to portray the murder as a suicide.

Pakistan police on Friday said a father shot dead his daughter after she refused to delete her account on popular video-sharing app TikTok.

In the Muslim-majority country, women can be subjected to violence by family members for not following strict rules on how to behave in public, including in online spaces.

“The girl’s father had asked her to delete her TikTok account. On refusal, he killed her,” a police spokesperson told AFP.

According to a police report shared with AFP, investigators said the father killed his 16-year-old daughter on Tuesday “for honor.” He was subsequently arrested.

    I’m not sure he had any sanity in the first place to go insane, these kinds of ‘creatures’ only look human, if he can murder his daughter then he can murder anyone, hes a danger to everyone around him, should be locked up for life 😠

      Dehumanizing people is the first step in treating them like animals, and then extermination them - genocide. Don’t go down that path. It always ends the same way.
