Woman wants to marry killer of her sister
Edith Casas wants to marry Victor Cingolani, who was convicted of murdering her twin sister Johana.
ARGENTINA: Edith Casas, 22, believes that her fiance, Victor Cingolani, "would not hurt a fly" and is innocent in her sister s death.
Cingolani is currently serving a 13-year sentence for the murder of Johana Casas, a model whose body was found in a field with two bullet wounds in 2010. Cingolani had dated Johana, but the two were not in a relationship when she was killed.
The convict also noted that while his relationship with Johana Casas was "casual," he is "in love" with Edith.
The wedding was supposed to take place Saturday, El Patagonico reported. However, a civil judge postponed the event after Casas mother, Marcelina del Carmen Orellana, submitted a request for a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation of her daughter.
Orellana, believes the would-be bride is clearly "psychologically ill." Casas family has stated they feel she is guilty of "a terrible betrayal."
Cingolani s attorney, Lucas Chacon says that while he can sympathize with the family s concerns, "Edith is not marrying a killer."
Chacon insists that Marcos Diaz, who was dating Johana Casas when she was killed, is the real murderer, the Mail reported. Diaz is scheduled to go on trial next year.
