Sanjay Sharma

Sanjay Sharma (born 1969), also known as Juan Carlos Sánchez Pinto Clasen among other false identities, is an Indian serial killer currently serving a life sentence in Denmark for the double murder of his wife and her child in 1999, which he committed while on the run from Indian police, who were planning to charge him with the murder of his second wife in Austria two years prior.

Early life and first marriage Sanjay Sharma was born in 1969 in New Delhi, India, the younger of two boys in a family with four children. When he was five years old, his older brother, Anil, whom he looked up to, was sent to a boarding school. In adulthood Anil moved to the United States, where he began a career as a businessman in New York City.

Despite Sharma having a weak alibi, an Austrian coroner declared that the Razi had died from electric shock, but still considered the death worthy of further investigation. A few weeks later, Sharma travelled to Esbjerg, where he bought an apartment in Kvanglundparken. Less than two weeks later, Carla and Natuk moved in with him, and the family remained there for some time. Three days later, Sharma booked a one-way ticket to Ottawa, Canada and left without his wife or his adopted child. He never reported either of them missing, and the mysterious disappearances raised suspicion, but when queried about them, Sharma claimed that they were in Venezuela. On 8 February 2000, police were called to the cottage when a neighbour reported that he had seen a child's arm sticking out of the sand, near a slope. The authorities dug up the body, which was quickly identified as that of Natuk Clasen, while her mother's corpse was found buried in a nearby toolshed. On 18 May 2000, he was arrested in front of a bank in Brooklyn without incident and driven to a local police station, where he admitted that he was being sought by the Danish authorities for a double homicide, but denied being the actual culprit. Since 2012, he has been eligible for parole, but has thus far not been approved for it. In 2005, Sharma's new girlfriend, Ketty Andersen, made an interview with Ekstra Bladet where she asserted her belief that he was a scapegoat. She also claimed she would fight for his release, and if that ever happened, they would marry and move to Sweden.
