Charles Manson death: Legal fight over cult leader's body
8 January 2018
A hearing is set to begin in Los Angeles to decide who has the right to the remains and estate of cult leader Charles Manson, who died in November.
The 83-year-old was not originally thought to have named a next of kin.
But multiple claimants have emerged, including a pen pal, an estranged grandson in Florida and another man claiming to be Manson's long-lost son.
A lawyer representing the county where he died described the legal case as "really weird" and "like a circus".
