Dublin community mourns 'world’s best shopkeeper'
Books of condolence have been opened for a popular Dublin shopkeeper who fell ill and died shortly after chasing a suspected robber out of his shop.
Akram Hussein, who was in his mid-40s, was taken to hospital after Sunday's robbery, where he later died.
Mr Hussein had worked in a convenience store in Drumcondra for many years, where he was well known for his very friendly service and kindly manner.
He was hailed as the "world's best shopkeeper" by a local community group.
The married father-of-one was originally from Bangladesh but had lived in Dublin for several years.
