Serial killer ‘the Serpent’ to marry translator

Charles Sobhraj, 64, is a serial killer (a.k.a “the Serpent” and “the Bikini killer”) serving a life-imprisonment sentence in a jail in Nepal. His interpretor Nihita Biswas, 20, is smitten by him and says it was love at first sight. They are engaged to marry. From The Independent, UK:

Charles Sobhraj and Nihita Biswas

Invitations have yet to be sent, the wedding band has not been booked. But inside a Nepalese prison cell measuring less than 10ft across, what must qualify as one of the more unlikely of marriages is actively being planned.

The groom-to-be is Charles Sobhraj, a 64-year-old French citizen nicknamed “The Serpent”. This convicted, self-confessed killer has been blamed for perhaps as many as 20 deaths, is the subject of several books and a full-length movie, is a veteran of South Asia’s jails and is a twice-married womaniser. Now, as he appeals against his conviction by a Kathmandu court, he is planning to marry a Nepalese woman 44 years his junior.

Sobhraj has become engaged to Nihita Biswas, who was hired by his lawyer to work as a translator.
