A Pakistani-origin man has been convicted of murdering an Indian restaurant manager by hitting him with a stolen car in England, police said on Friday.

The guilty was identified as Shazeb Khalid, 25.

"Shazeb Khalid, aged 25, of no fixed abode was found guilty of the murder of Vignesh Pattabi Raman today (11/9) following a trial at Reading Crown Court, lasting 28 days," read the statement issued by the Thames Valley Police.

"Soiheem Hussian, aged 27, of Rossby, Shinfield was found not guilty of the murder of Vignesh Pattabi Raman, but was found guilty of assisting an offender," police said.

At a previous hearing at the same court, Khalid pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

What happened to the Indian person?

At approximately 11.50pm on 14 February this year, 36-year-old Vignesh Pattabi Raman was found in Addington Road following a road traffic collision between a cyclist and a vehicle.

Vignesh Pattabi Raman was declared deceased at the Royal Berkshire Hospital and a murder investigation was launched.

A post-mortem examination ascertained that Pattabi Raman had died as a result of a head injury.

Khalid was arrested on 19 February and charged the following day.

Hussain was arrested on 28 February and charged on 29 February and Reilly was arrested on 21 February and charged on 28 May.

Khalid and Hussain will be sentenced on October 10.

Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Stuart Brangwin, said: “I am glad that the jury has found Khalid guilty of murder and Hussain guilty of assisting an offender.

“It was obviously clear to the jury that Khalid intended to cause Vignesh harm that evening. He used the stolen Range Rover he was driving as a weapon and left him to suffer knowing that he had hit him.

“The communication between Khalid and Hussain throughout the evening of Vignesh’s death showed that Hussain was very much aware of what happened and that he assisted in the aftermath.

“The death of Vignesh has left his family devastated, and I hope this verdict will help them in some way.”
