Two Sri Lankan men will stand trial on charges of murdering 28-year-old Sameera Chandrasena, whose body was found in a burnt-out house he rented in Domain Rd, Oxford, in February.

Police said an autopsy showed that Chandrasena, who was also from Sri Lanka, was found with injuries consistent with him having died of an assault before the fire started.

Thuvan Prawash Sawal, 23, and Viraj Alahakoon, 33, a jeweller, both of St Albans, are jointly charged with arson and murder.

They were committed for trial when they appeared in Christchurch District Court on Friday and are next due to appear at a High Court pre-trial conference on August 24.

Both remain in custody. (Source: stuff.co)

My deepest sympathy goes out to the victims family, its very hard to loose a loved one. These people who are responsible, have to be given the maximum panishment. These sick people should be put behind bars for life, without perole.

Gamini, if you dont know the facts, then dont open your mouth/comment. This guy was killed in New Zealand not in London. You are a typical Sri Lankan who tries to disrepute the country and its institutions for whatever reason whether it is relevant or not. get a life!
