TORONTO, Canada — According to Canadian news sources, notorious serial killer Karla Homolka has packed her bags and moved with her child and husband to the Antilles, a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea. Many residents of the islands are said to be angry by the local government's acceptance of the convicted killer. Homolka was released from prison in July 2005 after serving a 12-year sentence received as a result of accepting a plea bargain from the Crown. Since her release, she has legally changed her name and her appearance.

Charles Sobhraj

KATHMANDU — For a third time in recent months, Nepal's Supreme Court has delayed delivering their verdict on an appeal by convicted serial killer Charles Sobhraj, 63. 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.

AUSTRALIA — During today's appeal hearing for convicted serial killer Paul Steven Haigh, 49, psychologist and professor James Ogloff told the court that, in his professional opinion, Haigh lacked empathy for a nine-year-old boy he murdered. Testimony is set to resume later this week. It is Haigh's hope that the Victorian Supreme Court will set a minimum term for his crimes so that he may apply for parole in the future. Haigh is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of seven people, dating back to the late 1970s.
