Charles Manson

Completely random but how many people did his followers actually kill? - as in, how many murders they were convicted for.

I need to know for an assignment - the internet is telling me 5,6 and 9 people.

According to the BBC, which is a pretty decent source to quote, the conviction was for the murder of 7 people and one unborn child.

I don't think it was ever accurately established Danny, other murders were carried out elsewhere apparently from what I remember

I seem to remember there was talk of copy cat killings so it must be hard to get a accurate figure

Sorry I didn't answer, but I didn't have the foggiest!

Although, I drove past the Virgina State Pen, which is where a bunch of the nasty killers are locked up. I think he is there too.
