David's family plans to bring case to int'l court

By Adianto P. Simamora

The family of David Hartanto Widjaya, an Indonesian student ruled by Singaporean Coroner's Court to have committed suicide, says it will bring the case before an international court to seek justice for David's death.

David's father, Hartono said his family was still discussing the legal process to challenge the Coroners Court's verdict, which he declared was a conspiracy.

"We will keep moving forward to seek justice for David's death and intend to bring the case before an international court, in Singapore or elsewhere," he told The Jakarta Post from Singapore on Thursday.

"To us, the Coroner's Court did not investigate the cause of David's death."

Singapore's Coroner's Court ruled Wednesday that David, 21, who was studying at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), committed suicide by jumping from a campus building, after allegedly stabbing his professor with a kitchen knife.
