The family of Pathao co-founder Fahim Saleh, who was found decapitated and dismembered inside his New York flat, has said that nothing will bring them peace until his killer is arrested.
His family has said that they still “cannot fathom his gruesome death,” in a statement to the Daily News.
“There are no words or actions to provide any of us comfort except the capture of the person who exhibited nothing short of evil upon our loved one,” the family said.
Autopsy results showed that Fahim Saleh, 33, was fatally stabbed in the chest by his assassin before the cold-blooded killer, donning a black mask and fancy suit and tie, decapitated the victim and lopped off his arms and legs with an electric saw.
But before the murderer could scrub the condo clean and dispose of the body, Saleh’s sister buzzed into the building through a virtual doorman, prompting the killer to run down the stairs, a source told Daily News.
The horrified sister was in tears as she called 911 when she found her brother’s bloodied remains.
Saleh was the co-founder of Gokada, a motorcycle ride-sharing service based in Nigeria.
The motive behind Fahim’s murder appeared to be financial in nature, a senior NYPD official told NBC2 on Wednesday.
His family urged police to “work diligently to get to the bottom of his horrific crime.”
“Fahim is more than what you are reading. He is so much more. His brilliant and innovative mind took everyone who was a part of his world on a journey and he made sure never to leave anyone behind,” the family said.
“Fahim found success at an early age and built on it year after year, while remaining grounded and committed to helping others. No matter what he did, he did it while thinking of the greater good and his family. His parents and his sisters were his light and he was theirs,” they said.
