The brother of Asad Shah has said he "will live forever" in a moving tribute to the popular shopkeeper.

Mr Shah, 40, was found with serious injuries after an alleged disturbance outside his newsagents in Minard Road, in the Glasgow's Shawlands area, on Thursday evening.

He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. A man from Bradford has appeared in court charged with the murder of Mr Shah.

An online campaign was launched by the local community for the family of the popular newsagent. By Wednesday, it had raised £101,965 with donations from over 5000 people.

The popular Shawland's newsagent's brother thanked the public for their kind messages and said he was "humbled" by the support.

He wrote on Facebook: "Thank you everyone from the bottom of my Heart for all your lovely messages of support I am Humbled.

"I will leave you with these words from Asad Shah's people: Hero - a person who is admired or idealised for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.

"Martyr - a person who is killed because of their religious or other beliefs. Saint - a person acknowledged as holy or virtuous and typically regarded as being in heaven after death.

"My loving Brother Asad Shah will live forever, not because of the hateful acts of evil men, but because of the loving acts of a true hero, martyr and saint.

"I am leaving Facebook and I didn't Want to leave without saying thank you and goodbye. I hope I was a good example to you all. Be like Asad Shah and build peace and harmony. Live in peace look after one another. Thank you. I love you all."

The emotional online tribute comes after Mr Shah's family released a statement through police describing him as a "brilliant man".

The statement added: "We are devastated by this loss. A person’s religion, ethnicity, race, gender or socioeconomic background never mattered to Asad.

"He met everyone with the utmost kindness and respect because those are just some of the many common threads that exist across every faith in our world.

"He was a brilliant man, recognising that the differences between people are vastly outweighed by our similarities. And he didn’t just talk about this, he lived it each and every day, in his beloved community of Shawlands and his country of Scotland."

Donations to the family of the shopkeeper have reached over £108,000 in the week since his death.

On Tuesday, Tanveer Ahmed, 32, appeared in private at Glasgow Sheriff Court charged with the murder of Mr Shah.

Ahmed, from Toller in Bradford, made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody. He is due to appear again next week.
