A 40-year-old shopkeeper in Glasgow, Scotland, was found stabbed to death hours after he wished his customers “Happy Easter” on Facebook. 

The stabbing has been treated as a “religiously prejudiced” attack, the police said, and the suspect who has been arrested is Muslim, the BBC reports. 

“Good Friday and very happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation x!” Asad Shah, who is Muslim, wrote on Facebook. 

Shah had posted similar messages on Facebook last Christmas.
