Murder charge tycoon 'had court battle with victim'
Property magnate Nicholas van Hoogstraten was involved in a court battle over dealings with the retired businessman he is alleged to have had murdered by two hitmen, a court was told today.
Robert Knapp (aged 55) of Convent Street, Abbeyfeale, Co Limerick and David Croke (aged 59) of Boney Road, East Moulsecoomb, Brighton - the men the prosecution says actually carried out the killing - both also deny murder.
