Skase's widow to sell her story

The man pursuing Christopher Skase's millions has given the go-ahead for his widow, Pixie, to sell her story.

Bankruptcy trustee Max Donnelly said he would make no claims on any payments Pixie Skase might receive by selling her story to the Australian media, The Australian newspaper reported.

It is believed she has sold her story to a national television network and a women's magazine for $A200,000 ($241,000).

News organisations have been scrambling for an interview with the wife of the failed entrepreneur who died on Monday in Majorca.

Media sources involved in negotiations with the Skase family said it appeared the interview rights had been secured by a TV-magazine syndicate.

The likely combinations are the Seven Network and New Idea or the Nine Network and Woman's Day.
