GOKADA: Fahim's killer spotted on surveillance video - Police

The US police have confirmed that the killer of the founder of Gokada, Fahim Saleh, was spotted by surveillance footage.

This comes as reports suggest that the 33-year-old who was found dismembered inside a luxury apartment in New York’s Lower East Side on Tuesday afternoon was likely “financially motivated”.

The faceless killer was seen on a surveillance footage bolting via a staircase after Saleh’s sister buzzed up to the apartment and got into the elevator.

The police said, “He was dressed like a ninja, full out, so you can’t even see his face.

“He clearly knew what he was doing. We think his intent was to get rid of the body parts and go back and clean it up and make it look like nothing happened. He left before he finished the job,” The SUN UK reports.

One of the homicide officials from the New York Police Department investigating the murder said on Wednesday that the motive of Saleh’s killer appeared to be financial in nature, adding that the murder appeared to be the result of a bad business deal, according to WNBC.

Sources said the killing may have been a targeted hit, as investigators look into the victim’s business affairs for any possible motives or suspects.

“I think it was an overseas situation where they hired a hitman to do this and maybe the person is on a plane out of here,” a friend of Saleh told NBC New York. Detectives are said to be looking into that possibility.
