Real Crime

Britain's Richest Killer (2x11)

: 30, 2002

Millionaire landlord Nicholas van Hoosier made his fortune from buying, selling and renting property : and heaven help anyone who stood in his way. Not one to shy away from violence, he resorted to kidnapping and firebombing those who appeared to cross him, until finally convicted of the manslaughter of a former associate. As he awaits sentencing, ex-employees, as well as his former mistress, offer their opinions on the ruthless mogul once described as the 'self-styled emissary of Beelzebub'.
