Robert Durst was convicted of killing his best friend in 2000 and is a suspect in two other deaths.

US real estate heir Robert Durst, subject of HBO crime documentary series The Jinx, has been sentenced to life in prison for killing his best friend.

In a victim impact statement in court, Berman's son told Durst "you murdered the person I was" when he killed her. The crime carries special circumstances, the jury decided, including murder while lying in wait, and murder of a witness. Berman's cousin, Denny Marcus, told the judge on Thursday: "I was robbed… of an absolutely extraordinary, unforgettable brilliant person whose life was savagely taken from her."

"My mother's murder and the events of the last 40 years will never leave me. Are you satisfied, Bob?"Durst's wife Kathleen McCormack, a medical student, went missing in 1982 and is presumed dead. Prosecutors have argued that Durst actually murdered three people - the third being an elderly neighbour, Morris Black, who discovered Durst's identity in 2001 while he was hiding out in Texas and pretending to be a mute woman.
