The personal assistant of a young tech entrepreneur who was found decapitated and dismembered in his Manhattan apartment this week was arrested early Friday and is expected to be charged in the grisly killing, according to two officials briefed on the matter.

The entrepreneur, Fahim Saleh, 33, was discovered dead Tuesday afternoon by his sister inside his $2.25 million condo in a luxury building on the Lower East Side, police said. She had gone to check in on him after not hearing from him for about a day.

Detectives believe that the motive for the killing stemmed from Saleh having discovered that the assistant had stolen tens of thousands of dollars from him, despite the fact that Saleh had not reported the man and had set up what amounted to a repayment plan for him to return the money, one of the officials said.

3. Bargaining with criminals is a no-no

You prioritize your safety, you make a police report. You use precautions to protect yourself. A guy like this with money should have called a private security consultant. You take action.

instead of murdering him.

interview people for being my personal assistant next week, but I think I'll just put up with my work load instead. I like my head exactly where it is, thank you.

I'm often very perceptive like that.
