Heroin addict jailed for murder: News24: South Africa: News: "A recovered heroin addict was jailed for 20 years by the High Court in Pretoria on Friday for his role in the murder of a Pretoria man five years ago.

Judge Lettie Malopa described the crimes committed by Juan-Pierre Jacobs, 26, as 'heinous and despicable'.

Jacobs was earlier acquitted on a charge of murdering 44-year-old Steven Dummer, but convicted on a charge of murdering Dummer's friend, Theo Holtzhausen, 34, and robbing the two men of a large number of goods.

The two men and their cat were strangled in June 2006 while entertaining Jacobs and his friend, sex worker Lafras de Jager.

Holtzhausen's life partner of eleven years, Bertie Coetzee, discovered their decomposing bodies three days later when he returned home."
