Jurors to decide fate of double murderer

Friday, March 2, 2001 | 11:05 a.m.

Jurors were to begin hearing evidence today that will help them decide if the man they convicted Thursday of two murders should get the death penalty.

John Seka was convicted of first-degree and second-degree murder in the 1998 deaths of Eric Hamilton, 34, and Peter Paul Limanni, 33, respectively. He was also convicted of two counts of robbery.

Seka worked for Limanni at Cinergi Air Conditioning and Heating, 1933 Western Ave. Authorities contend he killed Limanni and Hamilton at the shop and dumped their bodies elsewhere.

Limanni disappeared Nov. 6, 1998, and police originally thought he might have killed Hamilton, whose body was found 10 days later off Las Vegas Boulevard South, just south of State Route 146.

Limanni's bullet-riddled body, however, was discovered Dec. 23 off Interstate 15 near Mountain Pass, Calif.

Seka was arrested on the murder charges in April 1999 in Philadelphia.
