A paedophile and ‘gay bashing’ murderer serving life sentences for their crimes have married each other in Britain’s first homosexual wedding in prison.

Mikhail Gallatinov was convicted for strangling 28-year-old homosexual man Adrian Kaminsky in 1997. Marc Goodwin was the leader of gang that roamed the streets attacking homosexuals, and is serving a life sentence for the murder of Malcolm Benfold in 2007.

The newly hitched pair was known to be homophobic when they arrived in prison, but in a bizarre turn of events have found love in a hopeless place.

The pair wore suits in a 15-minute ceremony attended by only four relatives at Full Sutton Prison in the UK.

The ceremony did upset the brother of Goodwin’s victim.

“How can you go out and kill a man for being gay and then have a gay wedding in prison? I can’t see any logic in it,” said Tony Benfold to Liverpool Echo.

Wendy Bridge, Mr Benfold’s sister, also against the wedding, said “I don’t object to a prisoner having a wedding, but when its two murderers getting married to each other, that’s wrong.”
