Student guilty of murdering flatmates
A Sydney student has been found guilty of murdering his two flatmates.
A Supreme Court jury found 30-year-old Ram Puneet Tiwary guilty of murdering his two male flatmates at their Kingsford unit in 2003.
Tiwary and his 26-year-old flatmates were from Singapore and studying engineering at the University of New South Wales.
The victims were stabbed and bashed with a baseball bat during the day. Tiwary said he was asleep in his bedroom at the time.
The Crown argued that Tiwary owed $5,000 in back rent.
The jury heard he was on a scholarship provided by the Singapore armed services and despite failing some subjects, told the army he had passed them.
He is yet to be sentenced.
