Serial killer 'the Serpent' held for more murders

A serial killer known as the Serpent, who for decades evaded charges of drugging, robbing and murdering more than a dozen tourists, was today being questioned about killings almost 30 years ago in Nepal.

Frenchman Charles Sobhraj, 59, was arrested in a casino in the Nepalese capital Kathmandu and is expected to appear in court on Monday.
