The following question stood in the name of Mr J.B. Jeyaretnam -
Mr J.B. Jeyaretnam: To ask the Minister for Home Affairs why the two policemen who shot to death the man at Seletar Club Road have not yet been charged in court with murder.
Mr Bernard Chen (West Coast): Question No. 12, Sir.
Assoc. Prof. Ho Peng Kee (for the Minister for Home Affairs): Sir, investigations into the case are still in progress. When investigations are completed, a Coroner's Inquiry will be held during which the full facts of the case will be presented. At the conclusion of the Inquiry, the Coroner will deliver his verdict as to the cause of death. Until then, it is premature to discuss whether the police officers involved should be charged for murder.
