2 persons charged with murder of Sri Lankan student in UK

Two persons were charged today with the murder of a Sri Lankan student working part-time as a pizza delivery man in the British city of Sheffield.
Shamraze Khan, 25, of Southey Crescent, and a 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before the Sheffield Magistrates Court and were charged with murdering Thavisha Lakindu Peiris.
Peiris, 25, of Sri Lankan-origin was found dead in his car on Sunday night in the Southey area of Sheffield as he was on his way to make a delivery for Domino's Pizza, the last order before he was to join an IT firm.

Peiris was stabbed to death in the car and was found dead in the vehicle by a co-worker who had been looking for Peiris after he failed to deliver his order.
Peiris' family described him as the "most caring and loving son a parent could have".
Speaking from their family home in Sri Lanka, his father, Sarath Mahinda Peiris and mother Sudarma Narangoda, said "We sent our son to the UK to study so he can have a better life. Now we are left with only a broken heart."

"We were devastated and shocked to hear of our son's tragic end and we are still unable to comprehend that he is actually gone," they said.

Peiris came to the UK to finish an IT degree and graduated from Sheffield Hallam University in 2011. He had just secured a job as an IT consultant in the city.
His colleagues and police said he had been feeling unwell during his last shift and was going to go home early but agreed to deliver one last order.
Domino's Pizza has said it was funding the cost of flying Peiris s family to the UK in the coming days.
