Inside The Serpent’s apartment

In the 1970s a serial killer was on the loose in South East Asia. His name was Charles Sobhraj, better known as 'The Serpent'. When tourists began going missing, or turning up dead, Dutch diplomat Herman Knippenberg was tasked with investigating the disappearances. The chilling evidence he found inside Sobhraj’s abandoned apartment helped put Sobhraj behind bars with a life sentence.

From the Outlook episode ‘The diplomat turned detective: Hunting ‘The Serpent’.
