Fahim Saleh, is dead. He was born in July 1986 into a middle-class Bengali family in Saudi Arabia. Along with his two sisters - Rif Saleh and Ruby Bashir - he and his parents eventually settled in Rochester, New York.
The 33 year old, who was the son of Bangladeshi immigrants, created his first company while still in high school.
He attended Bentley University in Boston, Massachusetts where he studied Computer Information Systems and developed a Facebook app which allowed students to have food delivered.
He went on to co-found the ride company Pathao, a Bangladeshi on-demand digital platform and transportation network in 2015.
More recently he helped found Nigerian motorbike taxi app Gokada, but the company faced a setback after authorities in Lagos banned motorbike taxis earlier this year. The company decided to attempt to pivot and become a delivery and logistics company with a new boat hailing service that would run vessels that could hold up to 24 people - but then the global pandemic struck, putting future plans on hold.
Mr Faleh’s body was found Tuesday afternoon decapitated in his Manhattan apartment in the U.S., the New York Daily News reported. The tech entrepreneur’s limbless, headless torso was found inside his Manhattan condo Tuesday afternoon with an electric saw lying next to the remains, the paper quoted the police as saying. Mr Saleh, 33, is believed to have bought the condo for $2.25 million last year.
Police sources said the body parts had been sorted into different plastic bags.
'The perp had a suitcase. He was very professional,' one police source told the Daily News.
Surprisingly, there was very little blood. The New York Times reported that some effort had been made to clear up evidence.
Cops are now trying to work out whether the arrival of the victim's sister interrupted the dismembering of Saleh's body. Later Tuesday, police could be seen in the condo's lobby at 265 East Houston Street and speaking with a woman who was in tears and who was believed to be one of Saleh's sisters who had found the body.
'She was really upset. Crying. Shaking,' neighbor Danny Faust said to The Post. 'She was just sitting there but you can tell her legs were shaking. She's nervous. She was crying like, you know, wiping her eyes.'
'She was screaming when she first came down,' Faust said.
Wed, 11:53 I added some details in the OP,
A suitcase had been brought in by the murderer and he may have been interrupted by the appearance of the victim's sister
As I suspected, the man owned business in Bangladesh and Nigeria and instantly people assume the murder was done by Nigerians or even has a direct relation to his businesses
