US real estate heir Robert Durst, subject of HBO crime documentary The Jinx, has been convicted of killing his best friend Susan Berman.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Durst was found guilty of killing Ms Berman in 2000 to stop her talking to police about his wife’s disappearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Then aged 55, she was found shot in the head in her Beverly Hills home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In The Jinx’s final part, Durst is heard muttering to himself: “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Hours before the last episode aired,\u00a0authorities arrested Durst in New Orleans for Ms Berman’s murder<\/a>. Jurors were played the clip during the trial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Prosecutors called Durst, 78, a “narcissistic psychopath”. It now looks likely he will die in jail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Susan Berman was a crime writer, and had acted as a spokesperson for Durst when he became a suspect in his wife’s disappearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

At an earlier hearing, Durst’s lawyer, Dick DeGuerin, objected to jurors also being shown clips from All the Good Things, a 2010 film about his marriage starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The film was directed by The Jinx’s filmmaker Andrew Jarecki and depicts the life of the tycoon, showing him as a murderer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
