Two young men have been sentenced to spend several years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter in the November 2014 death of Tausif Chowdhury, an international student.

Chowdhury, originally from Bangladesh, came to Ottawa in 2008 to study electrical engineering at Carleton University. His family lives in Saudi Arabia. Police said Chowdhury was known to them but he did not have a criminal record.

Steven Kozielo, pictured here in his high school yearbook photo, pleaded guilty to manslaughter last week and was sentenced to five years and 66 days in prison.

The 23-year-old's body was discovered by a cyclist off a path between the Airport Parkway and the South Keys Transitway station on the morning of Nov. 27. Investigators recovered a hammer nearby.

Steven Kozielo and John Ruch were arrested in December and were charged with manslaughter and robbery. They were both 19 at the time.

On April 6, Kozielo and Ruch, now 21 years old, each pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Kozielo was sentenced to five years and 66 days in prison and Ruch was sentenced three and a half years in prison.

Both are prohibited from owning weapons for life and were ordered to pay a $200 victim surcharge. Kozielo was ordered to submit DNA.
