Two Men Imprisoned for Gay Murder Marry Each Other
Two Men Imprisoned For Homophobic Murders Just Married Each Other In Prison
Quote:
On Saturday murderers Mikhail Gallatinov, 40, and Marc Goodwin, 31, made history by being the first same-sex inmates to ever be married while in prison in the U.K., The Guardian reported.
Goodwin was sentenced to life in 2007 for beating 57-year-old Malcolm Benfold to death, in what was called a “gay-bashing spree.”
He was given a minimum sentence of 18 years and it is projected he will serve another 10, the Guardian reported.
Gallatinov, who was already a convicted child molester, was imprisoned in 1997 at the age of 23 for the strangling death of Adrian Kaminsky, a 28-year-old he met on a gay hotline.
He was sentenced to a minimum of 20 years, which was upheld in 2009. He will be considered for parole next year.
