An Argentine woman married her twin sister's killer on Valentine's day and a mob gathered outside the civil registry office to throw stones and eggs at her for betraying her sister.
The bride, 23-year-old Edith Casas, says Victor Cingolani is innocent of killing her twin sister Johana more than two years ago. He was however found guilty of the murder and is serving a 13-year prison sentence. The groom says he is innocent and will be absolved on appeal.
Cingolani, 28, was taken back to prison in handcuffs immediately after the two said "I do". Edith Casas waited for hours until the crowd dispersed and it was safe to leave.
The bride's mother, Marcelina del Carmen Orellana, said she does not agree with her daughter's decision, according to Fox News.
"I've always said that she is threatened by the Cingolani family; I'm afraid that something might happen to her because he is a killer and a manipulator," she said to local media.
The body of Johana Casas was found in a field in the town of Pico Truncado in southern Santa Cruz province in 2010 with two gunshots in the chest.
