Two convicted killers have become the first same-sex couple in the UK to be married in prison, reports the Independent.

Mikhail Gallatinov (above left) is a convicted pedophile serving a life sentence for the murder of Adrian Kaminsky. Marc Goodwin (above right) was sentenced to life in 2007 for a homophobic murder that was described as part of a “gay-bashing spree.”

The pair married at a small ceremony in the visitor’s center at Full Sutton Prison, East Yorkshire.

Under the Marriage Act 1983, all prisoners have the right to marry while being detained.

Reacting to the news, Peter Benfold, whose brother was murdered by Goodwin, said:

“Hopefully they will strangle each other. It’s going to be terrible when they’re set free, given they’re both killers and one is a strangler and ­pedophile. It could be double trouble. It’s a marriage made in hell.”

40-year-old Gallatinov can be considered for parole next year.
