Linda Kasabian and the Manson Cult

Kasabian, recalls El Español, “drove the car that took the four members of the Manson family who killed Sharon Tate, her baby, and her friends to Beverly Hills.”

The woman “then acted as a watchman when the Manson family murdered actress Sharon Tate, who was eight months pregnant, along with three other people in a wealthy Los Angeles neighborhood in August 1969,” the AFP agency said.

Upon entering the home, shots fired at Steven Parent. Minutes later, they killed Tate, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, and Wojciech Frykowski with a knife.

Tate was married to film director Roman Polanski. After midnight on August 9, “after the actress and her friends were stabbed to death, Kasabian accompanied Manson and other cult members to the home of another couple, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca.” They too were killed.

The Spanish press clarifies that Kasabian did not directly participate in any of these murders, but was present at the crime scene.

The dreaded Charles Manson

Manson was considered one of the most dangerous criminals in the United States.

They describe him as “a psychopathic guru” who ordered murders like that of actress Sharon Tate.

In the late 1960s, he told his “disciples” to randomly murder the residents of wealthy, white Los Angeles neighborhoods, hoping to spark an apocalyptic race war, El Universo reported in November 2017, when Manson died.

On the tragic night of August 9, 1969, “one of his followers, Susan Atkins, at the behest of Manson, who was not present, committed the murder. He later wrote the word “PIG” (pig) on ​​the front door with the actress’s blood.

This newspaper published in January 2020: “A frustrated and disgusted Charles Manson, unaware that the music producer no longer lived in that house, sent to Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian and Patricia Krenwinkel, all members of his cult, with the sole assignment to kill everyone in the luxurious residence of the famous couple.

He horror began at 10:30 pm; The members of the Manson cult surprised Sharon and her sleeping friends and, after cutting the phone line, gathered them all in the living room, where Tex Watson introduced himself: “I am the devil and I have come to do what the devil does.”

Manson grew up without a father. He was born on November 12, 1934 in Cincinnati, United States. His childhood was difficult and in his youth he fell into the world of crime.

She founded the Manson community, where “naive” women flocked, it was said.

Many babies are born. The guru has at least one child with one of his followers. The medicine is always there

“believing himself to be the reincarnation of Christ,” Charles Manson “initiated a series of murders to spark a battle between whites and blacks, called “Helter Skelter” after a Beatles title,” recalled he himself after his death.

Kasabian turned himself in to authorities

The night of the actress’s murder, Kasabian “didn’t enter the house like her companions did, because she was the only one with a valid driver’s license and she waited in the car.”

The Spanish press emphasizes that Linda Kasabian “ran away from the cult following the murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca”.

Then he turned himself in to the authorities and at the trial of the members of the sect he was a witness in front of the prosecutor’s office.

In this way he “achieved an immunity deal”. In the end, he declared against the “guru”.

Manson and four of his followers were jailed after the trial. He was sentenced to death for the ‘Manson Family’ murders, but died in prison in 2017.

He escaped execution when the California Supreme Court declared the death penalty unconstitutional in 1976: the newspaper El Español.

Kasabian, who died in January 2023, had changed her last name to “Chiochios” to protect her identity after testifying against the Manson cult, Infobae published.

In 2009, the media reported that Vincent Bugliosi, the lead prosecutor in the case against Manson, said: “If there ever was a star witness from the prosecution it was Linda Kasabian. Without their testimony, it would have been extremely difficult for me to convict Manson and the other defendants.”
