A taxi driver who murdered a shopkeeper in the south side of Glasgow is to be sentenced.

Tanveer Ahmed, 32, previously admitted killing Asad Shah at his convenience store in March.

Ahmed, of Bradford, West Yorkshire, drove 200 miles from his home town to Minard Road in Shawlands, where he launched the attack on the popular shopkeeper on March 24.

Mr Shah, 40, was left with multiple stab wounds to his face and neck, a broken jaw, a fractured skull, broken nose and cheek bones.

The extent of the injuries to his face were so severe that experienced police photographers had to be warned before seeing his body.

Last month, the High Court in Glasgow heard how Mr Shah's Facebook posts, including one in which he claimed to be a prophet, motivated Ahmed to carry out the religious attack.

After carrying out the murder, Ahmed calmly walked to a nearby bus stop and waited for police. He made no attempt to escape.

The killer was then interviewed under caution and explained he had acted alone and his actions were motivated by Asad Shah's decision to "disrespect the Koran, the Prophet Mohammed, Allah and Faith".

He said he had warned Asad Shah he was there to kill him, had asked him to stop claiming to be a prophet but that he had insisted he was.

During the trial in July, Judge Lady Rae said there was "no justification" for Ahmed's attack, which was a "most shocking crime" and told him he would face a "very lengthy prison sentence".

In response to the killing, vigils were held outside Mr Shah's shop and more than £110,000 was raised in an online campaign for his family.
