Charles Sobhraj, Better Known As ‘The Serpent’ Serial Killer, To Face Interrogation Over Murders He Was Never Tried For In Channel 4 Documentary


Charles Sobhraj, or 'The Serpent', will be in a Channel 4 documentary interrogating his unsolved crimes after coming out of prison in 2022.

EXCLUSIVE: The now-released serial killer known as The Serpent, who was played with aplomb by Tahar Rahim in the eponymous mini-series, is to appear in a Channel 4 documentary where he will face psychological and criminal interrogations over murders he was never tried for. In Channel 4’s The Real Serpent: Investigating a Serial Killer from Monster Films, Sobhraj voluntarily puts himself forward for hours of interviews with forensic psychologist Paul Britton, mainly focused on five widely covered killings in Thailand in 1975. Former Metropolitan Police detectives Jackie Malton and Gary Copson will re-examine the murders and interview key protagonists and witnesses, in order to challenge Sobhraj’s claims that he did not kill anyone and to try to discover the truth about the crimes.
