Sri Lankan student killed in UK

A Sri Lankan student working part-time as a pizza delivery man has been found stabbed to death in the British city of Sheffield, police said today.
Thavisha Lakindu Peiris, 25, was killed while making his final pizza delivery before starting a new career as an IT consultant.
He was found slumped at the wheel of his car on Sunday evening in Southey area of Sheffield. At the time, he was on his way to deliver a takeaway.
Detectives said they could not explain the brutal and shocking death of a career-minded and hard-working young man.
According to South Yorkshire police, Peiris was making his last delivery for Domino's Pizza when he died. He had been working for the chain as he studied IT at Sheffield Hallam University.

Officers said he was delivering an order to an address in Southey Crescent that was due at about 10pm. When he failed to deliver the order, his workmates set off to find him.

Peiris was born in Sri Lanka and had successfully applied for a job as an IT consultant.
An autopsy showed he died of stab wounds. A 50-strong police team is working on the murder inquiry.
Detective Superintendent Lisa Ray, leading the investigation, said no motive had been established for the murder. She said: "Everything we have learned from his family, friends and workmates at Domino's suggests he was a career-minded, hard-working, bright, articulate and friendly young man who was very much planning his future.

"To date, we have found no explanation for his brutal and shocking death. I need to hear from anyone who knows anything about his murder."
Peiris' family is preparing to travel to South Yorkshire, police said.
A number of people were arrested and questioned by detectives but they have been released without charge, a police spokesman said.
