US tycoon Robert Durst has been
arrested on a murder charge ahead of the finale of a TV show investigating the
alleged crime. He was held in New Orleans after a warrant was issued by Los Angeles police
investigating the murder of Susan Berman. Mr Durst is the subject of HBO's The Jinx, which is investigating three
unsolved murder cases linked to him. The show says it has new evidence implicating him in Berman's shooting. The 71-year-old had been previously questioned by police investigating her
execution-style killing. Mr Durst will appear in a New Orleans court on Sunday but his lawyer says he
will not oppose being transferred to Los Angeles. In 2003 he admitted killing Morris Black, dismembering his body and throwing
the remains into a bay in Galveston, Texas, but a jury accepted his claim of
self-defence. The property heir was also questioned by police following the disappearance
of his first wife Kathleen in 1982 in New York. Mr Durst has always denied any involvement in the deaths of his wife or Miss
Berman.
