SINGAPORE: The family of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) student David Widjaja, who fell to his death last month, met with Singapore police on Thursday.
One of their main concerns is the release of a statement by the university about the events leading to Widjaja's death before police investigations were completed.
Widjaja's parents and brother, William Widjaja, met DSP Avadiar Pongenan - the head of investigations at Jurong Police division - for two hours.
They were accompanied by their lawyer, Shashi Nathan, and an Indonesian Embassy official, Yayan Mulyana.
Early last month, 21-year-old Widjaja was found dead after he fell from a campus building.
NTU released a statement that the student had allegedly stabbed his final-year project supervisor Chan Kap Luk before jumping to his death. It is an account the family has rejected.
The family said it was inappropriate for the university to have done so as police were still investigating the case.
A coroner's inquiry into the student's death has been set for next month.
