The Serpent
What does it take to catch a killer?
Created by Richard Warlow, Toby Finlay
On BBC One
A tense, visually rich true-crime limited series tracking an elusive serial killer across the 1970s Hippie Trail, balancing procedural investigation with the tragic human cost of his crimes.
The remarkable story of how murderer Charles Sobhraj was captured. As the chief suspect in unsolved murders of young Western travellers across India, Thailand and Nepal’s ‘Hippie Trail’ in 1975 and 1976, Sobhraj had repeatedly slipped from the grasp of authorities worldwide to become Interpol's most wanted man, with arrest warrants on three different continents.
