US MASS MURDERER Charles Manson is “seriously ill” in hospital after being transferred from prison for an undisclosed medical condition.
The 82-year-old was moved from Corcoran State Prison in Kings County, California, to a hospital 60 miles (100 kilometres) to the south in Bakersfield, according to celebrity news site TMZ.
A state corrections official refused to comment on the reports and would confirm only that Manson had not died, but the Los Angeles Times cited an unnamed source who said Manson was “seriously ill,” without elaborating.
Manson headed an apocalyptic cult that committed murders in upscale, mostly white neighborhoods of Los Angeles in order to blame the crimes on African Americans, in the hope of sparking what he termed a ‘Helter Skelter’ race war.
He has been in prison for more than four decades after the 1969 killings, which included the brutal murder of director Roman Polanski’s actress wife, Sharon Tate, who was heavily pregnant.
He was sentenced to death in 1969 along with four of his ‘Manson Family’ disciples for having led the killing of seven people, but their sentences were later commuted to life in prison.
Manson, who was not actually present but ordered the killings, applied for parole in 2012 but was denied release and is not eligible to apply again until 2027.
He was granted permission in 2014 to wed then 26-year-old Afton Elaine Burton, described in US media as a slender brunette, who had been visiting him in prison.
But the 90-day license expired without the ceremony going ahead.
He was married twice before he was jailed, first to Rosalie Jean Willis from 1955 to 1958, and later to Candy Stevens between 1959 and 1963.

Married twice in the space off 4 years good lad . I presume the other two we’re equally as stupid as the slender brunette in the picture with him
It turned out one of them only married him in the hopes of getting his body after his death, presumably to make money from it. He was supposedly left heartbroken as a result of this.
If those murders were committed in Ireland he probably wouldn’t have spent a day in jail as he was never present at any of the murders.. Manson himself was neglected and abused as a child, he was placed in a childs detention center from his early teens and was sexually abused from around the same age.. To be fair he never got a start in life and considering he was never present at any of the murders I’d say he would have got off scot free over here..
He wasn’t present at the tate murders and the next murder. It’s untrue to say he wasnt present at other murders.
John he wasn’t present at any murders carried out by the Manson Family..
@Cosmo Kramer: most definitely was at at least one
@Cosmo Kramer: i’m pretty sure he was present during hinmans murder/torture
They didn’t let him out because he might run for President. He has all the qualifications required.
Maniac

She walked across the dance floor that night..
She was a sexy lady
@Eye_c_u: She had to get her thrill
@Liam O’Reilly: “It was the heat of the moment”
Sorry I was thinking of a different song.
Ah Jaysis Les. Wreck the buzz why don’t ya.
How come these nutcases attract beautiful women?
Hint, they’re also nutcases
@Mr Snuffleupagus: He plays guitar.
It is frightening to see the kind of women that are attracted to him. The original Mason Family had would seemed like normal well educated people. Particularly gorgeous women in the Mason Family he used to get into places, a lot of dark people out there.
The idiots think they can change/save/understand him. Pick whichever.
@prop joe: yeah but the manson girls were very very young and he was in his 40′s and filling them with LSD and bulls*it…and i doubt he was taking any himself. A master manipulator and bad bad man. Doris Tate will be disappointed he will die of old age.
The one in the photo is not all that beautiful, to be fair.
Do ya think if he was a bus driver she would be with him ..look at the head on hin !!
@Mr Snuffleupagus: They always did?
Still looks as evil as ever
Interesting how Manson’s idea of pitting one race against another seems to be a standard political tool nowadays….
He should only be transferred to a morgue.
A morgue? a hole in the ground that he should dig.
No loss
Hopefully he’ll die in agony.
Or even better karma is that one of the hospital workers is related to one of his victims…..
The video interviews of him on utube are mesmerising. He would have you convinced he did nothing wrong and the world did him wrong.
@Shane Kenny: Theres a podcast called you must remember this and there are a few episodes about manson, his followers and the history of it all. Very good listening if you’re interested!
Frankly, I couldn’t give a fcuk!!
Should be burried at sea in a Dybbuk box rather than a coffin?
Catherine Tate wasn’t far off the mark!!!
Push him along asap
have your say
