Many of you might not be aware of these brutal happenings that took place in America around 1960’s. Manson murders are said to be one of the most harrowing homicide that took place in America. The foundation of this murder series was laid by Charles Manson, a mentally deranged man, who incited his ‘followers’ to commit a series of nine murders. Among those nine killings, one was Sharon Tate, the wife of famous filmmaker Roman Polanski. Currently, the disgruntled man is serving the life sentence at California State Prison.
Let’s learn about some shocking facts about ‘Manson Family Murders’ that shook the entire world.
Charles Manson, the chief conspirator had a set of specific rules
On the Spahn Ranch, the head office of his conspiracies, books were not allowed and neither was watches, clocks or calendar. Even the family members were not allowed to wear glasses even if they had high prescription power. Crooked Charlie wanted his girls to see the world as it is. Although, his girls weren’t seeing anything at all!
Charles wanted to get famous by killing few top CELEBRITIES
Many famous names like Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones, Elizabeth Taylor, and Steve McQueen were on his hit list. He wanted to become absolutely infamous and the most-loathed villain ever. It was good that they were caught before any further killings were made.
Charles Manson NEVER killed anyone!
Then how he ended up being the most hated killer in the world? This is why he never carried out the murders on his own. He had his cult of fanatic followers who did anything he commanded. He made his family members commit the crimes, that’s why it is called Manson Family Murders.
There were as many as 35 victims of Charles Manson
Although, by law, the deranged family has been convicted for eight murders that took place during 1960’s. But speculations are rife that they may have actually killed even more people. The rest of the killings weren’t pursued in court because family members who committed the crime had already been found guilty.
