US officials say troubled real estate heir Robert Durst has been moved to a state prison with a mental health unit because he's considered a suicide risk.
Durst is in custody on gun charges while awaiting a transfer to Los Angeles to face murder charges.
His arrest this weekend came shortly before the finale of an HBO television series about his links to the slaying of three people.
A city magistrate had ordered that Durst remain in the New Orleans jail. But the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office appealed that order, and Louisiana's 4th Circuit Court of Appeal ruled on Tuesday night in favour of the sheriff.
The sheriff's office says he was moved to Elayn Hunt Correctional Centre in St Gabriel.
