Si Ouey or Si Uey Sae-Ung (Thai: ซีอุย แซ่อึ้ง, RTGS: Si-ui Sae-Ueng, Thai pronunciation: [sīː.ūj sɛ̂ː.ɯ̂ŋ]), commonly spelled Si Quey and whose actual name was Huang Lihui (Chinese: 黃利輝; pinyin: Huáng Lìhuī), was a Sino-Thai gardener who became best known as a convicted serial killer. Si Ouey was accused of killing several children throughout the 1950s before being arrested in 1958 and executed in 1959. According to some sources, Si Ouey was allegedly the first serial killer in the history of modern Thailand. Many believe him to be innocent of the charges and a victim of anti-Chinese sentiment in 20th-century Thailand.[4][5][6]
