DEATH OF SAF OFFICER
A 19-YEAR-OLD full-time National Serviceman has been arrested in connection with the death of Second Lieutenant Nicholas Chan Wei Kit.
It is believed that he is the driver of the Land Rover that killed 2LT Chan at Seletar Camp last Friday.
The 21-year-old officer was pinned under the vehicle after it rolled backward and hit him while he was inspecting it.
A recovery vehicle was dispatched, though Mindef would not say how long after the incident, to lift the vehicle off him.
But he later died of his injuries in hospital.
Details surrounding 2LT Chan's death remain hazy, such as whether the handbrake had been applied or wheelchocks put in place at the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving accidentally.
The 19-year-old, who is out on bail, was taken in by the police for causing death through a rash act. He is currently assisting police in the investigations.
