A millionaire gay businessman is dead and his business and life partner charged with murder after a fight in their Perth penthouse apartment at the weekend. Following what the NZ Herald dismisses as a "gay tiff," Gerrit Heijne, 44, turned himself in to police who subsequently found Frank Cianciosi dead. The couple were well known amongst Perth's social elite and had made their fortune in a retail chicken shop that was franchised into almost 200 Lenards outlets around Australia. Heijne will next appear in court on January 16, he is understood to be intending to fight the murder charge.     Ref: Sunday Times
