Van Houten, described holding Rosemary down with a pillowcase over her head as the others repeatedly stabbed her. Then, after being ordered to \u201cdo something\u201d by fellow Manson follower Charles \u201cTex\u201d Watson, she also picked up a knife and stabbed her more than a dozen times.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The murder occurred the day after his followers, who referred to themselves as the \u201cManson family,\u201d killed <em>Rosemary\u2019s Baby<\/em> actress Sharon Tate and four others.
