David team plans to sue Singapore Police
The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Wed, 09/02/2009
Representatives for the family of Indonesian student David Hartanto Widjaja, who was found dead at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University in March this year, plans to sue the Singapore Police for refusing to return David’s laptop and police records to his family for examination.
“The only choice now is to sue the Singapore Police. We want them to return David’s laptop to his family,” Iwan Piliangan, the team chairman, said Wednesday to kompas.com.
Iwan said the Singapore Police agreed to return the laptop, but without the examination record or a receipt.
Such an action would make it difficult to trace police statements in previous trials, he said. For example, he said, the police claimed to have found a letter on Jan. 24 that said David wanted to commit suicide, but his family claims David was with the family at the time.
The police also claim David visited websites about suicide, but they failed to mention any dates, he added.
