A shopkeeper who was murdered after he posted an Easter greeting online, was allegedly killed by a fellow Muslim who travelled from 200 miles away just to murder him.
Asad Shah , 40, was stabbed to death in his shop in what is feared to have been a sectarian attack against the peace-loving branch of Islam he followed.
Hours before his murder, he had written on Facebook: " Good Friday and very Happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation."
The bearded killer is understood to have travelled from his home in Bradford to Mr Shah's store in Glasgow.
Asad was stabbed up to 30 times with a kitchen knife and his head was stamped on in the brutal attack on Thursday.
Police suspect the incident was 'religiously prejudiced'.A GoFundMe page was created following the incident by some of Mr Shah's customers to raise funds for his family.
Posts on the page describe Mr Shah as a 'popular, well-respected and much-loved' member of the community.
Thousands of people have donated, and in two days more than £51,000 has been raised.
