Charles Sobhraj, 79, allegedly slaughtered at least 20 Western backpackers who were travelling through Asia's 'hippie trail' during the 1970s and 1980s

The bearded man in spectacles and blue jeans enjoying the ­spectacular views near the ­London Eye could be any tourist - but the sightseer is actually freed serial killer Charles Sobhraj. As reported by the Mirror, the 79-year-old allegedly killed at least 20 Western backpackers in Asia in the 1970s and 1980s.

When asked what he would say to someone in London who was afraid he could harm them, Sobhraj replies: “I will say they are free their feelings and thoughts.

During the three-part show, Sobhraj is confronted by ex-detectives and a forensic psychologist who present him with evidence of his guilt. Sobhraj is unable to explain to former Det Ch Insp Jackie Malton and Commander Gary Copson why he was caught with possessions belonging to murdered travellers or how he crossed borders using their passports. But he continues to deny the murders.

“He has always had women doing his bidding. It would astonish me if he had not convinced one or more women, even now, that he was a safe and entertaining companion.” After spending hours with Sobhraj, Mr Britton tells him his personality has the dark triad traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy.
