#7 „The Serpent’s preys” – the serial killer Charles Sobhraj






He was a particularly brutal and vicious assassin, he had many nicknames, one of them was “The Serpent” another one, “The Bikini Killer” (based on the garment items he used to leave by the victims he killed) or “ The Proofreader”.

His victims were easy targets, the one who travelled hippie trail all along Asia. His killing scenario except one (he bathtub drowned one of his victim) was the same, drugging the victim, robbing him or her and killing them.

He was known to be very intelligent, versatile having flair for languages. After numerous murders he was finally caught and sentenced.

„…Sobhraj was finally arrested in 1976 in New Delhi, after drugging a group of French engineering students at a banquet in the Hotel Vikram. He tricked them into taking “anti-dysentery capsules,” which many swallowed on the spot, becoming violently sick minutes later. The hotel desk clerk, alarmed by 20 or more people vomiting all over the dining room, called the police. Entirely by chance, the officer who showed up at the Vikram was the only policeman in India who could reliably identify Sobhraj, from the scar of an appendectomy performed years earlier in a prison hospital. Tried in New Delhi for a long menu of crimes, including murder, Sobhraj was convicted only on smaller charges—enough, it was assumed, to ensure his removal from society for many years…”

The murders were committed in various countries all over the globe, the police had to decide in which country it would be fair (for the victims sake) to convict him. They eventually decided India would be fair enough, the police didn’t recognize Thailand – where Sobhraj would face an instant death sentence. In 1997 he became a free of charge – he went to France, six years later in 2003 he travelled to Nepal, where he was still a wanted man for first degree murders.

“…He was arrested in Nepal in 2003 and was later tried and convicted of the 1975 murder of American backpacker Connie Jo Bronzich. Sentenced to a life term, he tried to escape from prison in 2004, but failed. In 2014 he was convicted in a Nepal court of the 1975 murder of Canadian tourist Laurent Carriere, who was a friend of Bronzich…”

He still hopes he will be free one day. Believes in his innocence.

The Classification of Gunshot Wounds

Gunshot wounds are either penetrating or perforating. Penetrating wounds occur when a bullet enters an object and does not exit; in perforating wounds, the bullet passes completely through the object. A wound, however, can be both penetrating and perforating. Gunshot wounds can be divided into four broad categories, depending on the range from the muzzle to target: contact, near contact, intermediate, and distant. In contact wounds, the muzzle of the weapon is held against the surface of the body at the time of discharge. Contact wounds may be hard, loose, angled, or incomplete . In hard-contact wounds, the muzzle of the weapon is jammed “hard” against the skin, indenting it, so that the skin envelops the muzzle. In hard contact wounds, the immediate edges of the entrance are seared by the hot gases of combustion and blackened by the soot. This soot is embedded in the seared skin and cannot be completely removed either by washing or by vigorous scrubbing of the wound. In
