Crazy World: Woman to wed twin sister's killer

ARGENTINA: A woman from Argentina has made up her mind to marry the convicted killer of her twin sister.

The convict, Victor Cingolani, is currently serving a 13 year sentence for killing his girlfriend Johana Casas, who was a fashion model, in August 2010, reports Perth Now.

The bridegroom insists he is not guilty and plans to marry the deceased's twin in prison.

The man and his 22-year-old fiancee had been granted permission to tie the knot behind bars. The bride's mother is totally against the wedding and wants to have her surviving daughter psychoanalysed as she feels that her daughter doesn't know what she is doing.
