Two in court over church murder

Two men are to appear in court today for the murder of the janitor of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Paarl in the Boland whose tortured body was found in a storage room at the church. Fifty-three-year-old Charles Jacobs had two stabs wounds in his stomach and a pair of shorts had been pulled over his head. His hands were tied behind his back. Police would not elaborate on the murder but family members say Satanists appear to have been involved. The word Satun was written in Jacobs’ blood on the floor of the building. Apparently the murdered man had been arranged to look like Jesus Christ on the cross.
