Horrifying new details about notorious serial killer Charles Manson and his life before his murderous rampage in California have been revealed in a new docuseries.
'Making Manson', a three-part series which runs on Peacock, looks at Manson's life of crime in his own words, along with the help of 20 years worth of phone calls he made to friends.
Manson was the infamous leader of the 'Manson family' cult that murdered at least nine people, including actress Sharon Tate, in the late 1960s and early 70s.
One of the audio recordings in the series revealed that Manson was involved in a couple of killings while he lived in Mexico in the 1960s.
"See there's a whole part of my life that nobody knows about. I lived in Mexico for awhile. I went to Acapulco, stole some cars," Manson can be heard saying in a short clip posted by Peacock.
"I just got involved in stuff over my head, man. Got involved in a couple of killings. I left my .357 Magnum in Mexico City, and I left some dead people on the beach."
Focus of the series
The series focuses on Manson's life before he established the 'family', which was mostly mad up of women.
A former cellmate, Phil Kaufman, also details what it was liking living with Manson.
"Charlie was very good at be being evil and not not showing it," he said. "Anything that detracted him from his game plan at that time, he would squash it, but he did it with velvet gloves."
Other members and associates describe how they didn't make much of Manson's criminal record, which included rape and theft, prior to the murder of Tate and others.
"I was told he had gotten out of jail or prison or whatever - I never knew the details, and that didn't mean much in the 60s," music producer Gregg Jakobson said.
"But if we knew that he had murdered somebody, that would be different. But he just had gotten out of jail, that's all we knew."
