Victor and Edith |
On Valentine's Day, an Argentinian woman married the man convicted of
murdering her twin sister — to the dismay of her distraught parents and
an angry crowd that gathered to throw stones and eggs.
Edith Casas, 23, on valentine's day got married to her twin sister's convicted killer and former boyfriend, Victor Cingolani,
28, who was returned to his cell after the ceremony to serve the
remaining 12 years of a 13-year prison sentence. He was convicted last
year of being a "willing participant" in the 2010 murder of fashion
model, who's also his his EX and his new wife's twin sister, Johana Casas who was shot twice.
The ceremony took place at a civil registry office in Pico Truncade,
southern Argentina, the same city where Johana's dead body was found on
the outskirts of town.
Victor and late Johanna who was murdered (They used to date) |
Edith whose twin sister Johanna was murdered in 2010 before her 20th birthday, says she's in love with her husband, whom she's been dating since
before the murder, and that he did not kill her sister. They plan to
start a family. She said this in a prior interview:
I’m going to get married to the person I love and not the
person who killed my sister. Victor is not a violent person and I’m not
mad. We’ve got no doubts about what we’re doing. We love each other.
Cingolani is appealing his conviction and expects to win. His lawyer says he's the victim of a "judicial scandal."
Still grieving the loss of one twin daughter, the family has now doubled
its grief — Edith's father says, "For me, they are both dead. Johana is with God and Edith is with the Devil."
Edith's mother, Marcelina, managed to block an earlier wedding date in
December by claiming Edith was mentally incompetent. But Edith
successfully completed court-ordered psychological testing, and the
wedding was rescheduled. Marcelina says Edith is "guilty of a terrible
betrayal," and she fears Victor may harm Edith too.
Johana, murdered shortly before her 20th birthday, was a former
girlfriend of Victor. He says he broke up with her and moved on to Edith
long before the murder.
Victor's lawyer claims
Marco Diaz (Johanna's boyfriend after Victor dumped her for Edith) is the true killer and that he had no help from Victor... cigarette butts found near Johana’s body belonged to Diaz and all the witnesses have incriminated him.
