Jockey Danny Nikolic quizzed after murder of father-in-law Les Samba | Herald Sun: "Nikolic presented himself at the St Kilda Rd offices of the crime department this morning to discuss the cold-blooded street execution of the millionaire racing identity.

He spoke to officers for about two hours, denying involvement in the killing.

The champion jockey was not accompanied by a lawyer.

Homicide squad chief Det-Insp. John Potter said Nikolic was not being treated as a suspect.

Nikolic is the former husband of Mr Samba’s daughter Victoria, who was a Melbourne Spring Carnival ambassador.

Nikolic, who rode Thorn Park to win the 2004 Stradbroke Handicap for Samba, yesterday said the death was a major surprise.

'It's a huge shock,' Nikolic said."
