Manson, 79, to wed 25-year-old
Serial killer Charles Manson, 79, is planning to marry his 25-year-old girlfriend behind bars, Rolling Stone reports.
Manson famously is spending the rest of his twilight years at California’s Corcoran State Prison for a sensational series of cult murders he orchestrated in 1969.
Manson’s followers slaughtered actress Sharon Tate, her unborn baby, her guests and a number of other victims.
After 44 years in prison, Manson is marrying his girlfriend, who goes by the name of Star and looks like one of his former disciples, Susan Atkins — who died in prison in 2004 — according to Rolling Stone.
“Star!” Manson said. “She’s not a woman. She’s a star in the Milky Way.”
Raised a Baptist, Star grew up in a town on the Mississippi River. She told Rolling Stone it was the killer’s devotion to environmental causes that won her over and she now lives in Corcoran, Calif., to be near her husband-to-be.
“Yeah, well, people can think I’m crazy. But they don’t know. This is what’s right for me,” she said.
In solidarity with her imprisoned paramour, Star has also carved a cross into her forehead.
