The gunman is bracing himself against a car and pointing his gun at Mr Dagsa. His face is slightly obscured by the gun. The car was parked in an alley outside the Dagsas' house. The family gave police the photo and a man identified as the gunman was arrested on Monday.

An accomplice seen in the photograph was also arrested. Police said the main suspect was a car thief whose arrest was ordered by Mr Dagsa.
