By Zul Othman, TODAY | Posted: 11 January 2010 0755 hrs
SINGAPORE - The police have concluded their investigations into the Bukit Panjang hit-and-run accident involving a Romanian Embassy car.
A police spokeswoman said on Sunday that the investigation papers are now with the Attorney-General's Chambers "for their direction on the appropriate course of action to be taken".
On December 15, at about 3.10am, a black Audi A6 hit three pedestrians along Bukit Panjang Road. One victim, Mr Tong Kok Wai, 30, suffered brain damage and died on Christmas Day, while two others suffered injuries.
Dr Silviu Ionescu, the charge d'affaires at the Romanian Embassy here, reported later to the police that the vehicle had been stolen. He left for Romania shortly after the accident, citing treatment for his diabetes.
Mr Tong's widow has now engaged the services of criminal lawyer Subhas Anandan.
The case has sparked interest in the Romanian media, with newspapers and Internet sites picking up news reports here on the incident.
Last week, it was reported that Romania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has asked its Prosecutor's Office to launch an investigation into the incident, following the ministry's "internal investigation" into the matter.
Nevertheless, the police spokeswoman stated on Sunday that they "have not handed the investigation file to the Romanian Prosecutor's Office".
