| French serial killer to marry Nepalese |
| 2008-07-06 |
| A French serial killer known for being a talented disguise and escape artist becomes engaged to a woman 44 years younger in Nepal. The 64-year-old Charles Sobhraj, convicted by a Katmandu court on charges of murder, was sentenced to life in imprisonment. He has filed an appeal with Nepal's Supreme Court and is expecting a final decision in the coming days. Sobhraj's 20-year-old Nepalese fiancé, Nihita Biswas, said they are planning to marry if he is freed by the Supreme Court. 'We are planning a future after his release. We know he is going to be released soon. We are going to be married under French law in France,' she said. Biswas says she is not concerned about the age gap and feels sure the court will free Sobhraj because there was not enough evidence against him. The two met when she applied for a job as interpreter for Sobhraj's French lawyer, AP reported. Charles Sobhraj murdered several Western tourists and at least 20 people in Asia during the 1970s, but his 2004 conviction in Nepal was the first time he was found guilty. |

| #3 Get hold of the absolutely riveting book Serpentine , which details the crime(s) Mr. Sobraj committed. If I were Miss Biswas, I'd have her affairs in order. Mike |
