Thailand’s ‘Cannibal Killer,’ six decades a museum oddity, laid to rest with prayer–VIDEO

 

Si Quey Sae-Ung was returned today to the same place he was shot to death by a firing squad 61 years ago.

Executed for murdering children and eating their organs, Thailand’s infamous “cannibal killer” and bogeyman to generations of children was laid to rest at a temple next to the Bang Kwang prison in northwest metro Bangkok in the wake of doubts about the extent of his crimes.

At his funeral and cremation were corrections officials and medical workers from Siriraj Hospital, where Si Quey spent the last 61 years slumped against the glass wall of a display case at a medical museum unofficially named after him. Also on hand to pay their respects at Wat Bang Phraek Tai were dozens of residents who traveled from Prachaup Kiri Khan’s Tab Sakae district, where he had once lived.
