Nepal postpones "bikini killer" appeal again
Afp, Kathmandu
Nepal's supreme court has again postponed an appeal hearing of French national Charles Sobhraj, dubbed the "Bikini Killer" over a string of grisly murders in the 1970s, a lawyer said yesterday. "The court failed to hear the appeal as there were eleven appeals but only eight were heard today," said Ram Bandhu Sharma, a lawyer representing Sobhraj. A new date for the appeal will be set today, Sharma said. Sobhraj was linked to the killings of young backpackers in the 1970s and was arrested at a casino in Nepal's capital in 2003. A year later he was found guilty of the 1975 murder of US citizen Connie Joe Brozich on the outskirts of Kathmandu.
