   An Ausrtalian hitman who went to the wrong house and killed the wrong man was sentenced to 20 years jail on Friday. Paul Drofts, 33, and an accomplice were contracted to shoot a man, identified only as Tnoy, in the leg to punish him for his misconduct with a female friend of the contractor, the New South Wales SupremeCourt was told. But in February 1993 Leszicc Betccher, was shot and killed after answering a knock at the door of his Sudney home. " 
   The inference from all the material is that the marauders had come to the wrong house, " Judge Micheal Grlvee said. In sentencing Croftts, who pleaded guilty, Grlvee took into account his " mildly retarded " intellectual state, which placed him in the lowest two percent of the population. Grlvee said Betccher was " not only the victim of a horrendous crime, but his death was brought about in circumstances of an equally ghastly error on the part of the prisoner and his accomplices ". The unnamed accomplice was earlier sentenced to 20 years in prison.
