Mass serial killer Sobhraj kept alive with heart surgery

KATHMANDU - Asia's best-known serial killer who started his chain of deaths in Thailand has survived government-provided heart surgery outside his Nepal prison cell.

Confessed French serial killer Charles Sobhraj, who is serving a life sentence in Nepal, had a successful heart operation, doctors said.

Doctors at Shahid Ganga Lal Hospital in Kathmandu said Sobhraj, 73, was recovering in the cardiac care unit.

Sobhraj underwent a five-hour surgery to repair the valves in his heart.

Dr Raamesh Koirala - one of three surgeons involved in the complicated procedure - said Sobhraj would remain sedated for 24 hours.

"We cannot say he is out of danger for 24 hours and maybe longer. But the operation was normal," said the surgeon.

Dr Koirala caused a minor kerfuffle with the manner he tweeted about his operation, and the seemingly chummy photo he sent of himself with the serial killer.

Sobhraj's wife Nihita Biswas, who the killer married in prison, said that, "The good news is that the operation was a success", according to a report by the AFP news agency.

"It was a four-hour surgery but they had to extend it for another hour because they found that the other valve was also damaged. Right now they say that he's stable."

The doctor was savaged on social media for the tweet and photo.

"Good job as a doctor, but that hug is a bit disturbing!" was one reaction. "insted of fixing heart of such criminal #sobhraj , u could have fix heart of noble men of URnation", said another.

Sobhraj has been in a Nepal jail since 2004, when a court sentenced him to life in prison in the 1975 killing of a Western backpacker.

This was the photo on the wanted poster for Sobrahj aka Alain Gauthier, the name he used while killing at least five foreigners in Thailand before 1976.
But his gory trail during the 1970s claimed victims in Thailand, Afghanistan, India, Turkey, Nepal, Iran and Hong Kong.

In Thailand he killed an unknown number of foreign backpackers, young tourists he pretended to befriend only to then abduct and kill, often in the most horrible matter such as burning a Dutch couple alive, and drowning an American woman in Pattaya. The latter murder earned him the nickname of 'bikini killer'.

He has confessed to five murders in Thailand.

The Frenchman in the past has admitted killing several Western tourists, and is believed to have murdered at least 20 people.
He was detained in Thailand after an investigation by diplomats, but "escaped" to Malaysia and then to India, where he resumed killing

He was convicted of murder for the first time after he came to Nepal as tourist in 2003 and police were tipped by a journalist. He was arrested and found guilty by a court the following year.

Sobhraj was held for two decades in New Delhi's maximum-security Tihar prison on suspicion of theft, but was deported without charge to France in 1997. He resurfaced in September 2003 in Kathmandu

I think it's OK to value another life in this instance.

I assume this was on the Nepali taxpayer?

Taxpayer? You penny-pinching piece of nothing. What do you know of the value of anything?

Surprised that the Thais let him escape, instead of selling him Rohingya inmates to murder.

Read this years ago worth a browse.

Well now the surgeon has practiced on him he can do any hi-profile official in Nepal.

In a country in which 40% of children under the age of 5 are officially classed as having "stunted growth" from inadequate nutrition, one does have to ask whether this particular life was over-valued in this particular case.

But if they needed someone to practice on...

^Only positive I'm getting from this story. Hopefully without anaesthetic.

Fook me,

I did not think they could fix an ingrown toe nail in Nepal let alone perform heart surgery.

Hospital must have an extra supply of fuel for their Generator, coonting power goes out everyday day.

An unbelievable story. He should have been executed a long time ago.

Not quite the sentiments you expressed about Piwanoi - you stupid old goat.

Was Piwanoi executed or did he die of natural causes, you retard? At the time I was hoping Piwanoi would burn in hell he was already there.

So, Bob just checking your logic.

Below is your exact comment on the Piwanoi RIP thread

" I hope he experienced genuine suffering before he died."

Would I be correct in saying that your position is: We should preserve the life of an atrocious serial killer, at the same time wishing pain and suffering upon as innocent person whose biggest crime was to disagree with the shite you post?

You are a crazy mixed up old madman.

However it is easy to see why a man who can include on his CV running a brothel in Thailand and also being a Scout leader in the UK may have serious flaws in his judgement.

And why would you think I don't feel the same about Sobhraj?

Yes that would have been karmic.

The very good book recommended in a previous post mentions sobraj's experiments with anaesthesia.

Seriously...I think he's a very good choice for a guinea pig.

You're starting to make a complete arse of yourself Bob.

Your logic now implies - "you value life but support suffering"

Give it up you old dosser - get back to playing Pokemon go!
