The father of the singer Amy Winehouse has lost a High Court battle against two of his daughter's friends after dozens of her belongings were auctioned.

Mitch Winehouse brought the case against Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay, accusing them of profiting from items sold at auctions in the United States.

Lawyers for Winehouse told the court the two women had "deliberately concealed" the sales and said he turned to legal action because it was his "only means of obtaining answers".
