Los Angeles (AFP) - US mass murderer Charles Manson is not getting married after all -- at least not with the wedding license he secured late last year, a prisons official said.
The 80-year-old Manson was granted permission last November to wed 26-year-old Afton Elaine Burton, described in US media as a slender brunette, who has been visiting him in prison.
But the 90-day license expires this week, and the couple can only wed during weekend visiting hours, which they have not yet done, a spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said.
"The license expires on February 5. Inmate weddings must happen during visiting times. There are no visiting times scheduled between now and February 5," spokesman Jeffrey Callison told AFP. more at link: http://news.yahoo.com/us-mass-murderer-manson-80-not-marrying-030227308.html

his plot was too crazy even for Charles Manson.
Manson’s engagement to a woman 53 years his junior was part of a wild scheme of hers to profit by putting his body on public display after his death, says the author of an upcoming book.
Manson’s fiancée, 27-year-old Afton Elaine Burton, known as Star, sought to wed the convicted mastermind of the Sharon Tate murder and eight other slayings so that she could gain possession of his corpse, according to journalist Daniel Simone.
Burton and a pal, Craig Hammond, planned to lay out Manson’s remains in a glass crypt, Simone says. The pair figured their bizarre California version of Lenin’s Tomb would draw huge crowds and make big money.
But Manson, 80, does not want to marry Burton and has no interest in spending eternity displayed in a glass coffin, Simone told The Post. “He’s finally realized that he’s been played for a fool,” Simone said. <snip> The wedding was postponed “due to an unexpected interruption in logistics,” the site says. Manson entered a prison medical facility for treatment of an infection about two months ago and cannot receive visitors, Simone said. more at link: http://nypost.com/2015/02/08/charles-mansons-fiancee-wanted-to-marry-him-for-his-corpse-source/
