Four men jailed for murder of Rochdale aid worker

A prominent Sri Lankan politician and three other men have each been jailed for 20 years for killing aid worker Khuram Shaikh.

The 32-year old was attacked while on holiday on Christmas Day in 2011.

Sampath Vidanapathirana, a former council leader in the beach resort of Tangelle, was today found guilty of Khuram's murder at the High Court in Colombo.

Two of the accused were acquitted.
