MURDERED Glasgow shopkeeper Asad Shah posted a heartfelt Easter message on Facebook just hours before he brutally stabbed to death last night.

Mr Shah, 40, died in hospital after being knifed in a savage street attack in a Shawlands street shortly after 9pm.

Eyewitnesses told how they saw two men standing over the shopkeeper. One said: “One was stamping on his head. There was a pool of blood on the ground. It was horrific.

Mr Shah was a devout Muslim originally from the Pakistani city of Rabwah.

On his Facebook page, he describes himself as the self-employed owner of Shah's Health and Fitness.

His social media account also features videos of Mr Shah in prayer.

A final message, posted yesterday at 5.10pm, reads: "Good Friday and a very Happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation... Let's follow the real footstep of beloved holy Jesus Christ and get the real success in both worlds."

In previous posts, he also called "unconditional real love for all mankind".

This morning, a neighbour of his store was shocked at his killing.

The man - who asked not to be named - said: "I can't believe this. At first I thought there had been a car accident further along the road.

"Mr Shah is a decent man. He is very quiet but friendly. This is terrible."

This morning Minard Road is still cordoned off and guarded by officers around the store, close to Crossmyloof station.

A police incident unit is stationed near the murder scene, while a body tent is visible.
