Donations to an online fundraising page set up to help the family of tragic Glasgow shopkeeper Asad Shah has now passed the £100,000 mark.

The initial target was just £1,500 and the organisers described the growing total as "absolutely incredible".

Yesterday a man appeared in court charged with the murder of Mr Shah.

Tanveer Ahmed, 32, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, is accused of killing Asad Shah, 40, outside his convenience store in Glasgow's Shawlands area on Thursday night.

Ahmed made no plea or declaration at the brief hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court and was remanded in custody pending a further court appearance.

Police had previously described the incident as a "religiously prejudiced" attack and confirmed both men were Muslims.

Glasgow Times:

Mr Shah was discovered outside his shop on Minard Road and taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

His death shocked members of the local community, who came together for a silent vigil on Friday which was attended by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

Mr Shah moved to Scotland from Pakistan in the 1990s with his family.

His shop regulars described him as a ''pillar of the community'' and a "wonderful and gentle man".

He had posted a Facebook message on Thursday wishing all Christians a happy Easter

Glasgow Times:

Dozens of floral tributes were laid near his shop and a fundraising page was set up in support of his family.

A description of the Go Fund Me page said: "We are raising funds for his family to use in whatever way they see most fitting - whether that be to contribute towards funeral expenses, provide financial security for his family in the coming months, or simply to do something in his memory.

"We know money will never make up for his loss but this is our way of showing our support for him, and showing his family how much he was cared for in our community.

"The support we've received so far has been absolutely incredible and we would like to say a heartfelt thanks to everyone who has donated and left messages of support already.

"Once the campaign has ended, all funds raised will be transferred to the Shah family.
