KATHMANDU — Nepal's Supreme Court has again delayed delivering their verdict on an appeal by convicted serial killer Charles Sobhraj, 63, due to scheduling issues. During a recent interview with Khabrein.info, Sobhraj sounded confident that he would win his appeal, stating that when he is released he would "walk out of the prison into a good hotel and then soak myself in the bath for two hours." Known as the "Bikini Killer," Sobhraj allegedly committed over a dozen murders during the 1970s. Sobhraj's attorneys claim he was not in Nepal during the time the murders were committed. A new hearing date has not been set.

LYON, France — French police have arrested Nicolas Panard, 68, on suspicion of killing 18 men between 1980 and 2002. According to police, all of the victims died from blunt force trauma and stab wounds. When their bodies were later found, they were partially nude with their heads covered. Police believe an accomplice, a man they have identified as Slim Fezzani, 43, aided Panard in the killings. Fezzani is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence on a separate murder conviction. Both men deny involvement in the murders. Formal charges will not be filed until a judge reviews the evidence against them.

HONG KONG — For nearly two decades, police have been searching for a serial dog killer who targets pets in upscale neighborhoods. The media-dubbed "Bowen Road Poisoner" is believed to be responsible for the deaths of at least 44 dogs since 1989. According to police, the killer poisons the animals with tainted meat that he places on the side of the road in areas frequented by dog walkers. The most recent victim, a chocolate-brown mongrel, died last month after eating meat the killer had laced with insecticide. During an interview with AFP.com, SPCA Chief Superintendent Tony Ho said that the poisoner has been "either very clever or very lucky, or a combination of both." Police have no leads or suspects in the doggie murders.
