Psychopath Mikhail Ivan Gallatinov, 40, will next month tie the knot with gay-bashing killer Marc Goodwin, 31
One of the killers preparing for Britain’s first same sex marriage in jail is serving life for battering a homosexual to death and the other for strangling a male lover.
Psychopath Mikhail Ivan Gallatinov, 40, will next month tie the knot with gay-bashing killer Marc Goodwin, 31.
The pair, who met inside, have been given permission to wed at Full Sutton Prison, East Yorks.
But justice chiefs have said they will not share a cell afterwards and the ceremonywill not be funded by taxpayers.
A notice of their marriage was posted at the register office in nearby Beverley.
Convicted paedophile Gallatinov was 23, when he was jailed in 1997 for throttling Adrian Kaminsky, 28.
Judge Rhys Davies QC branded the murder “a cold-blooded, well planned, callous, chilling and apparently motiveless killing”.
Locking the brute up for a minimum of 20 years, he told him: “You are a dangerous young man and you present a considerable risk to the public.
“The defendant acted without pity, concern or remorse. He was described by one of the psychiatrists as a dangerous man.
"He does not suffer from mental illness but is wholly devoid of moral judgment.
“He has already served a substantial sentence for offences against children.”
Gallatinov of Moston, Manchester, will be eligible for parole next year.
He was under surveillance by police when he murdered Mr Kaminsky.
He even took photos of his victim with a camera detectives lent him.
After the killing he was stopped on a motorway by officers who found Mr Kaminsky’s near-naked body in the boot of his car.
The victim’s terrified mother told a review hearing she believes Gallatinov “would do something” to her and her daughter if he is ever released.
They sat through the trial in Manchester, Goodwin, of Airdrie, near Glasgow, was 23 when ordered to serve a minimum of 18 years in 2007 for the shocking murder of Malcolm Benfold, 57, on Blackpool promenade.
