French serial killer Charles Sobhraj, 78, who police say was responsible for a string of murders in the 1970s and 80s, was released from prison in Nepal after 19 years behind bars.
On Friday, he was driven out of the prison in the capital, Kathmandu, in a blue police vehicle and taken to immigration detention and then to Kathmandu airport. He was to be deported to France, his lawyer told reporters, where he was expected to arrive early on Saturday.
