Life sentences in Nepal are 20 years. The Frenchman has in the past admitted killing several western tourists and he is believed to have killed at least 20 people in Afghanistan, India, Thailand, Turkey, Nepal, Iran and Hong Kong during the 1970s.
He was dubbed the "bikini killer" in Thailand and "the serpent", for his evasion of police and use of disguises. He has been the subject of several dramatizations, including a Netflix and BBC joint production released last year. Sobhraj has denied killing the American woman, and his lawyers said the charge against him was based on assumption.
He was also suspected of many more murders, including in Thailand, where police say he allegedly drugged and killed six women in the 1970s, some of whom turned up dead on a beach near the resort of Pattaya. Police arrested Sobhraj days later at a restaurant in the Indian beach holiday state of Goa. A statue of Sobhraj stands at the restaurant in Goa to this day.

Sobhraj embarked on a life of crime in Europe in the 1960s and was twice arrested in Paris for auto theft. He married a Parisian woman named Chantal Compagnon and the pair bounced around Europe on a crime spree of robbery and smuggling. In 1973, he escaped the prison where he was being held for armed robbery and fled to Kabul. Where is Charles Sobhraj now? Five years later, Sobhraj was seen in the street of Kathmandu by a journalist who reported him to the police. He was arrested two days later and charged with a string of murders.
In 2018, model and influencer Tara Fares was shot dead by gunmen in Baghdad. Earlier this week it was reported rapper Toomaj Salehi, 33, would be hanged for charges linked to a period of nationwide unrest following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody in 2022 Salehi had shared photos online of himself at protests, and released songs reifying his support for disenfranchised women in Iran.

Сообщается, что в отличие от многих серийных убийц, «Змей» не совершал свои убийства из-за неконтролируемых, глубоко укоренившихся агрессивных импульсов, — это больше воспринималось как «побочный продукт» его образа жизни. При этом широко распространено мнение, что он страдает антисоциальным расстройством личности или формой психопатии. Утверждается, что преступник испытывал ненависть к хиппи, и многие его убийства отражали это. Собрадж вовсю пользовался своей дурной славой, получая деньги за интервью и права на экранизацию. Он стал героем нескольких биографий, трех документальных фильмов, болливудского фильма под названием Main Aur Charles, а также восьмисерийного драматического сериала BBC «Змей». По словам его биографов, Собрадж в конце концов признался как минимум в 12 убийствах в период с 1972 по 1976 год и намекнул интервьюерам на других, прежде чем отказаться от признаний перед дальнейшими судебными разбирательствами.
В течение 1970-1980-х годов он разыгрывал доверчивых туристов, подсовывал наркотики и совершал грабежи в различных странах Азии, включая Таиланд, Непал и Индию. В новом документальном фильме телеканала Channel 4, премьера которого состоится 19 марта, 79-летний Собрадж пообещал опровергнуть все обвинения.
Также он выразил сожаление о смерти своей возлюбленной Мари Леклер, страдавшей раком. Преступник признал, что будет жалеть о ее уходе "до конца дней", описывая ее как "очень хороший человек".
