Van Houten admitted that he stabbed one of the victims, who was lying on the ground, about 15 times in the back. Sentenced to death in 1971, she was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1978.
After several attempts, van Houten was finally released on parole and is safe in a transition center, according to his lawyer Nancy Tetreault.
