Tech entrepreneur found dismembered in New York died of multiple stab wounds
- Gokada founder Fahim Saleh, 33, was discovered in his luxury apartment with power saw plugged in nearby
- Security camera footage showed victim struggling with masked man in dark suit before his death
A technology entrepreneur found slain in his luxury New York apartment died of multiple stab wounds, the city’s medical examiner said on Thursday.
Police said earlier this week that the death of Fahim Saleh, 33, was a homicide but have given few other details. Local media reported that his body had been decapitated and dismembered, the parts placed into separate plastic garbage bags. A power saw was found plugged in nearby, along with cleaning supplies.
Security camera footage showed Saleh in the apartment building’s lift with a man in a dark suit, mask and gloves, the media reports said. Video showed the masked man following Saleh into the apartment, where a struggle began.
Police believe that a relative may have interrupted the intruder, who then fled via a back exit.
The New York Times, citing an unnamed law enforcement official, reported that investigators were trying to determine if Saleh’s grisly murder was related to his business.
