The National Police Headquarters has been urged to investigate the recent death of David Hartanto, an Indonesian studying at the Nangyang Technological University in Singapore, state news agency Antara has reported.
Hartanto Wijaya, David's father, made the statement at the National Police's Ciriminal and Investigation Unit in South Jakarta on Monday.
He came to the National Police Headquarters to urge the police to investigate the death of his son in Singapore.
David was found dead on March 3, 2009 after plunging from the third floor of the university's campus.
Singaporean authorities said David committed suicide, but Hartanto Wijaya does not believe this to be the cause of his son's death.
"I want the Police and the government to help investigate the case of my son in Singapore because his death was anomalous peculiar," he said.
He said that what was peculiar about his son's death was that David was reported to have stubbed his teacher, but that it was his son who died in the incident.
He also questioned why the wound on his son's neck was covered with a plaster when he died.
"If David committed suicide by jumping down from the university campus, his body would have broken into pieces but in fact he only sustained bruises," Hartanto Wijaya said.
He also questioned why the results of an autopsy have yet to be issued.
Hartanto Wijaya denied that the death of his son had something to do with the suspension of his scholarship by the university. (ewd)
