INFAMOUS French Serial Killer Charles Sobhraj WALKS Free
— Charles Sobhraj, the infamous French serial killer known for murdering at least a dozen Western tourists in Asia during the 1970s, is now free. He recently shared his story in a televised interview. “He likes to have the attention put on him,” said retired detective Jackie Malton.
Sobhraj, 80, is believed to have killed at least 20 people across Afghanistan, India, Thailand, Turkey, Nepal, Iran and Hong Kong. He earned the nickname “bikini killer” due to his ruthless methods and lack of empathy.
In 2004, Sobhraj was sentenced to life in prison in Nepal for killing American tourist Connie Jo Bronzich in 1975. A decade later, he was also found guilty of killing her Canadian companion Laurent Carrière.
