Thailand, at the end of the Sino-Japanese War, became home to a few Chinese immigrants who were looking to settle down in a new home. One of the immigrants looking for a new life was a lanky man named Si Ouey. He fought in the war but wanted to start a better life after experiencing the harrowing nature of being on the battlefield. Little did the Thai know, however, that their new neighbour, who mainly worked as a gardener when he first arrived in Thailand, would not remain the quiet and mysterious Chinese man for long. His name would become synonymous to that of a boogeyman, stories of which used to scare naughty children into behaving. But are the murderous stories about Si Ouey really true? Decades later, the handling of Si Ouey’s case by the Thai would be out into serious question.
