Charles Manson spoke on prison tapes about more murders

A new recording has emerged of infamous cult leader Charles Manson appearing to have admitted to more murders.

Manson’s followers, known as the Manson Family, murdered nine people in 1969.

The cult leader directed the murders in the hope of sparking a race war. He died in prison in 2017.

In newly released audio recorded while in prison and featured in a new documentary, Manson appears to speak about previously unknown murders.

“Look, there’s a whole part of my life that no one knows about,” Manson says on one of the tapes: featured in a new documentary series Making Manson.

“I lived in Mexico for a while. I went to Acapulco and stole some cars. I got involved in things that were way over my head, man. I was involved in a few murders. I left my .357 Magnum in Mexico City, and I left some dead people on the beach.”

Associates of Manson, as well as his former cellmate, Phil Kaufman, are also interviewed.

“Charlie was very good at being evil and not showing it,” Kaufman says in the series teaser.

“Anything that detracted from his game plan at that moment, he crushed it, but he did it with kid gloves.”

In the series, Manson “recounts the early crimes that led to the murder spree in the summer of ’69,” according to the streaming service Peacock.

The Manson family killed nine people, including heavily pregnant Hollywood actress Sharon Tate, wife of Roman Polanski.

One of Manson’s young followers, Susan Atkins, stabbed Tate to death and scrawled “PIG” on the front door of the house in the actress’s blood.

Four other people in Tate’s home were brutally stabbed to death. The next day, a wealthy Los Angeles couple, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, were also murdered by the clan. The murders became known collectively as the Tate-LaBianca murders.

Separately, Donald Shea, a Hollywood stuntman, and Gary Hinman, an acquaintance of the group, were murdered by members of the Manson Family.

Manson was not at the scene of the murders, but was nevertheless convicted of murder for directing his followers in seven of the murders.

He died of natural causes behind bars in 2017.
