Thailand issued a warrant for the arrest of Sobhraj in the 1970s on charges of drugging and killing six women, all wearing bikinis, on a beach at Pattaya. However, he was jailed in India before he could stand trial on those charges. He resurfaced in September 2003 in Kathmandu where he was arrested and convicted in 2004 of the 1975 murder of American backpacker Connie Jo Bronzich.
Собрадж собрал последователей, завоевав их лояльность; типичная афера заключалась в том, чтобы помочь своей жертве, оказавшейся в трудном положении. В одном случае он помог двум бывшим французским полицейским, Яннику и Жаку, вернуть утерянные паспорта, которые на самом деле сам и украл. По другой схеме, Собрадж предоставил приют французу Доминику Реннелло, который, по всей видимости, страдал дизентерией ; Собрадж фактически отравил его. Наконец, к нему присоединился молодой индиец Аджай Чоудхури, соучастник и заместитель Собраджа [12] [13]. Собрадж и Чоудхури совершили свои первые известные убийства в 1975 году. Большинство жертв провели некоторое время с этой парой перед смертью и, по мнению следователей, были завербованы Собраджем и Чоудхури, чтобы присоединиться к их банде. Собрадж утверждал, что большинство его убийств на самом деле были случайной передозировкой наркотиков, но следователи заявляют, что жертвы угрожали разоблачить Собраджа, что и послужило мотивом для убийства [14]. Первой жертвой стала молодая женщина из Сиэтла.
Тереза Ноултон в книге «Змей» представлена под именем Дженни Болливар была найдена утонувшей в Сиамском заливе в цветном бикини. Лишь несколько месяцев спустя вскрытие Ноултон, а также судебно-медицинская экспертиза доказали, что её утопление, первоначально считавшееся несчастным случаем во время плавания было убийством [15]. Следующей жертвой стал молодой еврей-сефард Витали Хаким, обгоревшее тело которого было найдено по дороге на курорт Паттайя , где остановились Собрадж и его сообщники. Они, как и многие другие, были отравлены Собраджем, который затем вылечил их, чтобы добиться их преданности. Когда они выздоровели, Собраджа навестила французская подруга его предыдущей жертвы Хакима, Шармейн Карру, которая приехала расследовать исчезновение своего парня. Опасаясь разоблачения, Собрадж и Чоудхури быстро избавились от Бинтанджи и Хемкер. Их тела были найдены 16 декабря 1975 года. Вскоре после этого Карру нашли утопленной и одетой в купальник, похожий на купальник Терезы Ноултон, бывшей жертвы Собраджа. Хотя в то время следователи не связывали убийства обеих женщин, они позже дали Собраджу прозвище «Убийца бикини». Собрадж и Леклерк вернулись в Таиланд, используя паспорта своих последних жертв, прежде чем их тела могли быть опознаны.
По возвращении в Таиланд Собрадж обнаружил, что трое его французских товарищей начали подозревать его в серийных убийствах, обнаружив документы, принадлежащие жертвам. Затем бывшие соратники Собраджа сбежали в Париж, уведомив об этом полицию [16]. Следующим пунктом назначения Собраджа был Варанаси или Калькутта , где он убил израильского ученого Авони Джейкоба просто для того, чтобы получить его паспорт. Собрадж использовал паспорт, чтобы путешествовать с Леклерк и Чоудхури — сначала в Сингапур , затем в Индию, а в марте 1976 года вернулся в Бангкок, несмотря на то, что ему было известно, что местные власти разыскивают его. Сообщники были допрошены тайской полицией в связи с убийствами, но их отпустили, так как власти опасались, что негативная огласка, сопровождающая судебное разбирательство по делу об убийстве, нанесёт вред туристической индустрии страны. Тем временем голландский дипломат Герман Книппенберг и его жена Анджела расследовали убийства Бинтанья и Хемкера [17]. Книппенберг знал и, возможно, даже встречался с Собраджем, хотя настоящая личность последнего все еще была неизвестна дипломату, который продолжал собирать доказательства. С помощью соседа Собраджа Книппенберг завел против него дело. В конце концов, через месяц после того, как подозреваемый покинул страну, ему дали разрешение обыскать квартиру Собраджа.
After his release, he retired in Paris and later returned to Nepal, where he was arrested and sentenced to life in prison.
In 2022, the Supreme Court of Nepal ordered his release due to his old age. Sobhraj is known for his charm and good looks, as well as his cunning and lack of scruples, and has gained a degree of celebrity status due to his crimes.
A court there handed him a life sentence the following year for killing US tourist Connie Jo Bronzich in 1975. In prison in 2008, Sobhraj married Nihita Biswas, who is 44 years his junior and the daughter of his lawyer.

Как пишут «Аргументы и факты» , там он собирался открыть свой бизнес, но его арестовали по обвинению в одном из убийств, за которое он смог избежать наказания.

Он назвал большую часть «Змея» «абсолютным враньём».
Согласно постановлению суда, он был депортирован во Францию — с запретом на возвращение в Непал в течение ближайших 10 лет. В Непале Собрадж был приговорен к двум пожизненным срокам по 20 лет за убийства американских и канадских туристов. Врачи, которые обследовали Собраджа, пришли к выводу, что у него больное сердце.
В 2017 году он перенес кардиологическую операцию.

Released in 1997, Sobhraj lived in Paris, giving paid interviews to journalists, but went back to Nepal in 2003. He was then dramatically spotted in a casino playing baccarat by journalist Joseph Nathan, one of the founders of the Himalayan Times newspaper, and arrested. Behind bars, Sobhraj maintained he was innocent of both murders and claimed he had never been to Nepal before the trip that resulted in his arrest. Thai police officer Sompol Suthimai, whose work with Interpol was instrumental in securing the 1976 arrest, had pushed for him to be extradited to Thailand and tried for murders there. But on Thursday, he told AFP that he did not object to the release, as both he and the criminal he once pursued were now too old.
Around this time, he reportedly had a curio shop in Bangkok, which he used to lure his victims and then steal their belongings by drugging them, sometimes to death. In 1973 in Delhi, he was arrested after his unsuccessful attempt at armed robbery at a jewelry store at Hotel Ashoka. He was imprisoned and sent to Tihar prison in Delhi.

After he fled to Kabul, he was arrested and kept at an Afghan prison, where he faked appendicitis again and fled. This time, he did not take his family along and left them in Kabul. His wife, Compagnon, was enraged by his illegal activities and she pledged to never meet him again. He was then joined by his brother, Andre, and both of them carried out robberies in Greece and Turkey. Andre was arrested in Athens after an identity-switch hoax went awry; Andre was left behind to serve an 18-year prison sentence. Charles became her tour guide in India. After some time, he moved to Thailand and became a drug dealer and gem seller. It was at the same time that he created his plan to build his criminal family. Charles lured Marie-Andree to join him in Thailand. Marie was lovestruck and became his first follower in his criminal family or clan. Charles Sobhraj with Marie Andree Leclerc To gather more followers, he designed a new con; he selected his victims, created problems for them, and became their savior. He lured his tourists to his den, an apartment complex called Kanit House in Bangkok, Thailand. After he made the tourists his followers, he would steal from them. In one case, he helped two French policemen, Yannick and Jaques, recover their passports, stolen by him. One of his other victims was Dominique Renelleau, who recollects falling sick after drinking a potion by Marie. Dominique appeared to be suffering from dysentery, which was cured by Charles. Dominique Renelleau Charles was joined by Ajay Chowdhury, an Indian and fellow criminal who became his first-in-command. Ajay Chowdhury Charles is known to have murdered more than 20 people with his accomplices, but only a dozen of them are reported. Investigators claim that the murders were motivated by the threat of getting exposed by his victims. However, Charles claims that the murders were cases of an accidental overdose of drugs. After murdering Laurent and Connie in Nepal, the criminal couple went to Thailand on their passports. They had to flee again as soon as they entered Thailand because their followers Yannick, Jacques, and Rennelleau discovered documents of Pattaya victims, and they reported him to the police. Upon his entry, Sobhraj was subjected to interrogation for the Pattaya murders. He escaped the charges because authorities feared that it would affect the tourism of Thailand. Meanwhile, Dutch diplomats Herman Knippenberg and Angela Kane his then-wife were investigating the Pattaya murders and began building a case against Sobhraj upon suspicion. After a month-long investigation, Knippenberg and Kane found full evidence of murder and drugging against Charles. Ajay was sent to collect gemstones and was last seen delivering the gemstones to Charles; his remains were never found.
Advert Though it may just seem like far-fetched fiction, it is anything but, and the true story is even more chilling. But after Sobhraj was arrested following a botched robbery, Compagnon left him and moved back to France with their daughter Usha. Shutterstock Between 1975 and 1976, posing as a gem dealer, Sobhraj, Leclerc and Chowdhury ingratiated themselves with vulnerable backpackers, drugging, robbing, and murdering them. Advert Often Sobhraj would pretend to be a good Samaritan, taking them to live with him in Bangkok, such as with Dominique Rennelleau, who believed he was suffering from dysentery when he had actually been poisoned by the killer. It is thought that Sobhraj and Chowdhury committed their first murder in 1975, an American woman called Teresa Knowlton, who was found in the Gulf of Thailand, wearing a bikini.
Advert Sobhraj and Leclerc were sentenced to 12 years in prison, though she was released shortly before dying of cancer in 1984. Following his escape from prison in 1986, Sobhraj was re-arrested in Goa and sentenced to a further 10 years in prison, meaning by the time of his release in 1997, most of his arrest warrants had expired.
