Their love is killer.

A British woman has fallen in love with an American prisoner who is serving 20 years for murder.

Robyn Kett came across a Reddit post in June 2024 from a family member of Deandre Parsons, 27, asking if anyone would be willing to be his pen pal.

The family said in the post that Parsons, who shot and killed a man, was a loner.

The 33-year-old stay-at-home mum decided to send the message out of curiosity – she had just lost her partner Nick, 35, to cancer in December 2023 and decided “life is too short”.

“I saw it. I just thought, ‘Why don’t I text him?'” Kett told South West News Service. “My friend was texting someone and said it was different and I was curious.”

She said they “hit it off straight away”, despite him not being her “normal type”.

“It was really easy to talk to. He seemed real,” Kett said. “It was like I’d known him my whole life.”

“You know when you feel something and it just grabs you,” she added.

When Kett and Parsons, both of Connecticut, first started talking, Parsons didn’t say much about his conviction, Kett said, but he eventually began to open up.

“I Googled him to make sure he wasn’t a maniac,” she admitted.

Parsons pleaded guilty to first-degree murder with a firearm in Stamford Superior Court after an armed robbery gone wrong. In September 2022, he was sentenced to 20 years, SWNS reported.

“The original charge was aggravated murder,” Kett explained. “He went to a house to rob the weed, but a man, his partner and child were there. He didn’t go out that day to harm anyone.”

But Kett doesn’t judge Parsons for being a convicted murderer.

“I can’t connect him to the crime. “I’m not a judgmental person,” Kett said. “You can’t judge a person because of what they have. You don’t know personal circumstances.”

The pair text every day, and Parsons calls Kett from prison when he has the chance. He gets 10 texts and six free calls a day, and they use that time to discuss everything from food to TV shows.

“He makes me laugh,” Kett said. “I just ended up falling in love.”

She added: “It’s all natural. He told me he loved me before he saw my pictures.”

The couple have now been talking for four months, and Kett plans to save money and get paperwork to approve her completed visits so she can fly to meet the convicted murderer in prison next year.

Despite the 20-year sentence, Parsons will be eligible for parole after six years.

“He talks a lot about the future,” Kett said. “I would go there. I want a future with him.

“From the loss of my partner in December, I realized that life is too short. I didn’t expect to find love again,” she added.

Luckily for Kett, her friends and family aren’t judgmental either – they tell her “if you can find happiness, grab it.”
