NEW YORK – A New York City real estate heir who admitted killing his neighbour in Texas a decade ago has had another run-in with the law.
Police say Robert Durst was arrested Friday outside his Harlem home on a trespassing violation. They say the 70-year-old son of real estate mogul Seymour Durst showed up at his brother’s midtown Manhattan home in June after being told to stay away.
