Pictured: Taxi driver who admits killing fellow Muslim shopkeeper because 'he disrespected Islam by claiming he was a prophet'

Tanveer Ahmed (pictured, top) yesterday confessed to the brutal murder of popular 40-year-old Muslim Asad Shah (bottom). His lawyer John Rafferty read a statement to gathered media on the 32-year-old's behalf following a brief hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court, during which he made no plea or declaration and was remanded in custody. Ahmed stated that he killed the much-loved family man because he had claimed to be 'a prophet'. Despite the declaration, Ahmed made no plea during the private court appearance. The newsagent was stabbed up to 30 times with a kitchen knife and his head was stamped on in the brutal attack the day before Good Friday.
