Handsome serial killer serving life sentence marries “in a beautiful ceremony” in prison

But a Jamaican serial killer, Lee Boyd Malvo has managed to still enjoy some of the rights that ordinarily he should be deprived of if he was serving the sentence in an African prison.

Although he is serving life in prison for his role in the 2002 sniper spree that left 10 people dead and three wounded in the US, he has gotten married. 

 Carmeta Albarus, who served as an adviser and mentor for Malvo during his 2003 trial is reported as having confirmed the marriage, saying wedding took place earlier this month at Red Onion State Prison in southwest Virginia.

 “Over the past 17 years, he has grown despite his conditions of confinement,” she said in a phone interview, adding, “He has grown into an adult, and has found love with a wonderful young lady. ... It was a beautiful ceremony.”

Albarus told The Washington Post: “I was honoured to be there. It was a beautiful occasion, given the circumstances of where it took place.”

Malvo, now 35, was 17-years-old when he and John Allen Muhammad, a 41-year-old Gulf war veteran carried out the killing spree in October 2002 that left 10 people dead and three wounded in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. 

After their trial, Muhammad was executed and Malvo was sentenced to life in prison without parole. 

Earlier this year, the Virginia government legislated that those who were under 18 when they committed their crime can seek parole after serving 20 years.

Per the legislation, Malvo will be eligible for parole in 2024 and may regain freedom if he makes use of the opportunity, and then join his wife his family outside of prison.
