The Supreme Court of Nepal has postponed the final verdict of Charles Sobhraj after he appealed against district court verdict of sentencing him to life imprisonment for the murder of American backpacker Connie Jo Bronzich in 1975.

Charles Sobhraj is 65 year old and if sources are to be believed he has already begun planning his reunion with his daughter, a quick wedding and is looking forward to a life of limelight in books and TV shows.

The verdict was postponed as the two judges hearing the case said they were not able to go through the complete arguments submitted by the prosecution and Sobhraj's lawyers within the given time. Justice Ram Prasad Shah also said they needed more time to examine the documents filed by both sides.

Delaying the verdict seems alright if the judges could not go through the documents however if they are going to set him free then there would be lot on anger among the people as it is believed that he murdered 12 to 24 people between 1970 and 1976 in Thailand, India and Nepal.
