Thailand’s legendary ‘cannibal’ to be finally put to rest

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).

Si Quey Sae-Ung, a Chinese migrant who moved to Thailand in 1944 and was described by his neighbours in Prachuap Khiri Khan’s Thap Sakae district as well-mannered and friendly, was killed by a firing squad in September 1959.
