A US jury on Friday found multimillionaire real estate heir Robert Durst guilty of murdering his best friend Susan Berman in 2000.Prosecutors called Durst a "narcissistic psychopath" who killed Berman in an attempt to cover up the disappearance of his wifeHe is suspected of killing three people in three US states over the past 39 years
Durst was only on trial for killing Ms Berman in California, but prosecutors argued he murdered three people: his missing wife, Ms Berman and a neighbour in Texas who discovered his identity at a time when Durst was hiding from the law.Despite long being a suspect in the disappearance of his wife, a 29-year-old medical student, Durst was never charged.
They noted prosecutors, who questioned him for nine days of cross-examination, were unable to produce forensic evidence linking Durst to the murder of Ms Berman, 55, who was shot in the back of her head inside her Beverly Hills home. The prosecution also delved into the 2001 death and dismemberment of Morris Black, who was Durst's neighbour in Galveston, Texas.A Galveston jury acquitted Durst of murder, even though Durst admitted he chopped up Mr Black's body and dumped it in Galveston Bay.
