A French serial killer portrayed in BBC drama The Serpent is to be freed from a Nepalese prison, after a court ruling.

Charles Sobhraj, who spent 19 years in jail for the murder of two tourists in Kathmandu in 1975, has been ordered to return to France within 15 days.

Sobhraj was linked to a string of other tourist murders in the 1970s, and spent 20 years in prison in India. His victims were mostly young Western backpackers on the hippie trail in India and Thailand.

He was in prison a long time in India for poisoning a busload of people. He is still wanted in Thailand for five murders.

I can’t find anywhere that says he’s being deported. Hopefully, they send him to Thailand, where he can be put on trial.

This is his wife, Nihita Biswas, who is 44 years younger than him. She is the daughter of his Nepalese lawyer and they married in 2008.

Released on good behavior. So how many young Western backpackers did he allow to live that were there in that prison with him?

If you’re going to wear knee-high hose, hon, get your dress down over your knees.
