A man has been found guilty of murdering a pizza delivery worker on his last day in the job in Sheffield.
Thavisha Lakindu Peiris, 25, was found stabbed to death in his car in Southey Crescent on the night of 27 October.
Shamraze Khan 26, of Southey Crescent, Sheffield was convicted by a jury at the city's crown court after a two-and-a-half week trial.
Another man, 18-year-old Kasim Ahmed, of Main Road, Darnall, pleaded guilty to murder on 7 July.
Mr Peiris was working as a Domino's Pizza delivery driver after graduating in IT from Sheffield Hallam University.
He had been trying to make what would have been his final delivery before starting his "dream job" as an IT consultant.
The jury of five women and seven men returned its verdict after deliberating for 14 hours and 28 minutes.
Both men will be sentenced on Thursday afternoon.
Addressing Khan the judge, Mr Justice Coulson, said: "Shamraze Khan you have been found guilty of murder. You will be sentenced to life imprisonment.
"The vital last task for me is to identify the minimum term. I will do that tomorrow afternoon."
