Rabin’s Assassin Wed in Secret Ceremony
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassin, serving a life prison term without parole, has secretly married by proxy, his bride said.
Larisa Trimbobler said she hoped her wedding to Yigal Amir last month would help overturn a court ban on conjugal visits for the ultranationalist, who shot Rabin at a 1995 rally in a bid to block peace deals with the Palestinians.
Israeli media said Amir empowered his father to carry out the ritual in his stead and may have joined in by telephone. Israeli authorities challenged the validity of the marriage.
