Brazil - Two Brazilian women behind murders which shocked the country have married in jail, national media reported Wednesday.
Suzanne Von Richthofen, 30, was 18 when she was jailed for 39 years in 2002 after arranging for her then boyfriend and his brother to kill her parents in their luxury home.
The killers beat the parents to death with iron bars.
Von Richthofen turned down parole to stay in a couples' wing at Tremembe prison in Sao Paulo state with partner Sandra Regina Sanchez, serving 27 years for her role in the death of a child kidnapped and killed in 2006 after a ransom went unpaid.
The two women began a relationship after meeting in a prison clothing factory, according to media reports.
Before her relationship with evangelist convert Von Richthofen, Sanchez had been seeing Elize Matsunaga, who gained notoriety in Brazil for killing and dismembering businessman husband Kitano Matsunaga in June 2012.
Brazil allows same-sex marriage in practice in the absence of a any constitutional prohibition following a 2011 Supreme Court ruling.
The socially-conservative country has to date failed to pass legislation formally recognising the same-sex marriage.
