A serial killer renowned for the scale of his crimes and the number of series and documentaries made about him. It's in one of these documentaries that new revelations are made.
Guru of a murderous cult in the late 60s, Charles Manson continues to fascinate after his death. Although he died in 2017 at 83, after more than 40 years behind bars, the serial killer continues to arouse public interest.
He was known for numerous crimes, for which the American was sentenced to death before having his sentence commuted to life imprisonment.
The Peacock platform has produced a docu-series called Making Manson, which looks back at the killer's life before he became a cult leader. In one episode, an audio recording of Manson reveals an inmate confidence. “I lived in Mexico for a while. I went to Acapulco, stole cars. I got involved in things that were way over my head, man. I got involved in a few murders. I left my 357 Magnum in Mexico City and left dead bodies on the beach.”
The serious newspaper The Guardian reports on this story and explains that these crimes were not known to the law. Seven years after his death, the killer has yet to reveal all his secrets.
