    Durst is currently in hospital fighting a bad bout of COVID-19

    US tycoon Robert Durst, sentenced to life in prison for murder, is on ventilator life support after contracting COVID-19, according to a US media report. Durst's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, was quoted by the Los Angeles Times as saying his client was in "very bad condition" during the sentencing hearing. Image Credit: AFP

    Former New York real estate scion Robert Durst testifies in his murder trial in August, answering questions from defense attorney Dick DeGuerin, left, at the Inglewood Courthouse in Inglewood, California.
    The 78-year-old US millionaire was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole after a jury found him guilty of killing his friend, Susan Berman, in 2000 at her Beverly Hills home. The motive was to keep her from talking to police about the disappearance of his wife two decades earlier. Image Credit: Gary Coronado/Los Angeles Times/TNS

    Tommy Marcus, 25, accompanies his mother Deni Marcus, 63, who was second cousins with Susan Berman, as she gave her statement to the court before Robert Durst's sentencing Thursday.
    The real-estate tycoon reportedly shot Berman at her house in Los Angeles back in 2000. Prosecutors claim that Durst killed Berman to stop her from revealing the truth about the disappearance of Durst's first wife, Kathleen McCormack, in 1982. McCormack was never found.

     Robert Durst, the estranged scion of a New York real estate family who has long been a suspect in several murders, in the back of a police car in New Orleans, March 17, 2015.  Nearly four decades after his wifeÕs abrupt disappearance cast a cloud of suspicion that would make his case one of the most notorious in the country, Durst was sentenced on Thursday, Oct. 14, 2021, to life in prison for the execution-style killing in 2000 of a close confidante.
    The lawyers allege that Berman had furnished Durst with an alibi after he killed his first wife; this second murder was an attempt to keep the first one hidden. Durst was arrested in New Orleans in 2015 – he was handcuffed on the day that an HBO documentary about him called ‘The Jinx’ aired. Image Credit: Edmund D. Fountain/The New York Times

    Robert Durst in his wheelchair looks at people in the courtroom as he appears in an Inglewood courtroom with his attorneys for closing arguments in his murder trial at the Inglewood Courthouse in California, U.S., September 8, 2021.
    The sensational trial began in early 2020, but then COVID-19 forced a pause in proceedings; it resumed in May 2021 after a 14-month delay. This is not Durst’s first time facing murder accusations; he was tried in 2001 over the murder of his Texas neighbour Morris Black, but he claimed self-defense and was acquitted.

     In this Monday, Aug. 9, 2021, file photo, New York real estate scion Robert Durst, 78, answers questions from defense attorney Dick DeGuerin, while testifying in his murder trial at the Inglewood Courthouse in Inglewood, Calif. The sentencing of Durst will be comparatively brief compared to his murder trial that stretched over the better part of two years. The New York real estate heir faces a mandatory term of life in prison without parole Thursday, Oct. 14 for the first-degree murder of his best friend, Susan Berman.
    It has also been alleged that the businessman had support from his family. Durst's father and brother were accused of assisting in the alleged murder of his wife who went missing in 1982. Image Credit: Gary Coronado/Los Angeles Times via AP, Pool, File

He is the brother of commercial developer Douglas Durst and the son of New York real estate billionaire Seymour Durst. Image Credit: (Photo by Myung J. Chun / POOL / AFP)
