The US real estate heir Robert Durst, sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his best friend, is seriously ill with Covid-19, according to his lawyer. Thirst had been taken to the hospital and will be artificially ventilated there, said lawyer Dick DeGuerin, according to a report published in the Los Angeles Times on Saturday. The sentence against the 78-year-old thirst was announced on Thursday.
DeGuerin told the newspaper that Durst’s health was already “very bad” during the sentencing. “He had difficulty breathing and communication,” said the lawyer. “He looked worse than I’ve ever seen him and I was very worried about him.”
Durst was found guilty in a high-profile murder trial in mid-September. The jury concluded that he shot his best friend Susan Berman in the back of the head in their Los Angeles home in December 2000. Investigators are convinced that he wanted to prevent Berman from being questioned by the police about the disappearance of his wife Kathleen in 1982.
Thirst is also under suspicion in the case of his missing wife. The real estate heir was arrested in a hotel room in New Orleans in March 2015 – just hours before the final of the HBO television documentary “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” was broadcast Thirst”).
In it, Durst had apparently inadvertently made a kind of murder confession. The multimillionaire was apparently unaware that the microphone was on when he mumbled to himself while going to the toilet: “What the hell have I done? Killed them all, of course. ”Durst’s lawyers argued that the recording had been heavily edited and altered. Durst rejects all allegations made against him.
