By Peter Allen PUBLISHED: 16:47 EST, 29 May 2012 | UPDATED: 16:48 EST, 29 May 2012 A millionaire golf course owner was stabbed to death during a drunken row with a handyman on his dream retirement estate in the Dordogne, a court heard today. Peter Fuller, 67, had moved to the unspoilt area of south west France following a distinguished but stressful career with the Total Oil company. But three years ago he became involved in an argument with Neil Ludlam, a 33-year-old friend from England who was helping out with DIY work on Mr Fuller’s five bedroom house.
