Jakob, a Swiss national, lived a relatively simple life here in Cabarete for the past 20 years.
He was known by all the locals and he always had a wink and smile for more than a fair share of local chicas.
He was a good man.
He also had more pussy during his time here than most of us will ever see.
He was a monger living the good life.
A few weeks ago he was robbed of less than 4,000 pesos in house by a young Haitiano.
Naturally he reported this to the police and identified his attacker.
2 weeks ago his body was found in his house, bound hand and foot and hanged by the neck over the back of one his dining room chairs.
His previously identified attacker was this week arrested for his murder.
