A new Channel 4 series follows Charles Sobhraj’s release from prison after being locked up in Nepal for nearly 20 years Serial killer Charles Sobhraj, dubbed ‘The Serpent’ for his snake-like ability to seduce victims before they were drugged, robbed and murdered, has been spotted sightseeing in London. The 79-year-old, suspected of killing at least 20 backpackers in Asia in the 1970s and 1980s, was photographed wandering among tourists on Westminster Bridge wearing a wig and fake beard.

Most recently he was depicted in BBC drama ‘The Serpent’ which was also streamed on Netflix. Malton told The Times: ‘There have been numerous documentaries about Charles Sobhraj but the victims have never really had a voice. This was the ­opportunity for him to be challenged with evidence that is compelling but has never been put to him before.’ She added of Sobhraj: ‘I can see why the hippies were so ­attracted to him. He’s interesting, charming and highly educated.
