BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): The embalmed body of alleged cannibal and child killer Si Quey, which has been on display at Siriraj’s 'Museum of Death' for the past 70 years, will finally be given a proper funeral on Thursday, Mahidol University’s Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital announced on Monday (July 20).
