FATE SEALED: Charles Sobhraj now seems fated to languish in Nepal

Sobhraj found guilty again, freedom dream recedes

Once known for his adroitness in escaping from the most stringently guarded prisons across the world, yesteryear's crime maestro Charles Sobhraj now seems fated to languish in Nepal's dingy central jail for life with a lower court Thursday delivering a guilty verdict that has grave implications for the murder case he has been fighting for six years. Judges Mohan Prasad Ghimire and Ishwor Prasad Khatiwada of Patan Appellate Court found the 66-year-old half Indian, half Vietnamese Sobhraj guilty of having come to Nepal in 1975 using a fake passport and slapped him with a jail term of one year as well as a fine of NRS 2,000.
