Ram Puneet Tiwary, 27, murdered Chow Lyang Tay and Poh Chuan Tan at the home they shared in Kingsford, Sydney.

The three men were studying engineering at the University of NSW and had come from Singapore, according to a Sydney Morning Herald newspaper report.

Tiwary, who owned one flatmate $5,000, beat both of them several times with the baseball bat and later stabbed them in the neck to make sure they were dead.
