California prison officials release new photo of Charles Manson

The 77-year-old former cult leader is serving a life sentence in a California prison for killing nine people.

CALIFORNIA PRISON OFFICIALS have released a new photograph of convicted cult killer Charles Manson that shows the 77-year-old with long hair, a shaggy beard and a swastika scar on his forehead.

The photo was taken last June and released on Wednesday. The buzz cut he had in his last picture is gone, his hair and beard are now long and gray. He has had the carved swastika scar for decades.

Manson is scheduled for his 12th parole hearing next week. He’s serving a life sentence at Corcoran State Prison for the killings of nine people, including the 1969 deaths of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and six other people in cult attacks.

Three of his followers also are serving life sentences. A fourth, Susan Atkins, died in prison in 2009.
