Huang Yong (murderer)

Huang Yong (Chinese: 黄勇; pinyin: Huáng Yǒng; November 18, 1974 – December 26, 2003) was a Chinese serial killer convicted of murdering 17 teenage boys (although he is suspected of 25 murders) between September 2001 and November 2003.

After serving a tour of duty in the Chinese Army, Huang became a migrant worker, doing agricultural jobs throughout southern China.

[1][2] In September 2001, Huang started to lure young boys from video halls, Internet cafes and video arcades to his house by offering to recommend them for well-paying jobs or to fund their schooling or sightseeing tours.

In his house, Huang drugged the youths and strangled them with a rope, often reviving them multiple times to torture them before ultimately killing them.

Investigators at first were not convinced of Liang's story but the boy claimed that Huang had invited him to his apartment by offering him a job.
