With a multitude of conflicting reports about the tragic death of 14-year-old Benjamin Lim, his family members have presented their side of the story, of which The Online Citizen has published in full.
Some context — the boy was found dead at the foot of his HDB block in an apparent suicide, just hours after he was released from police interrogation over allegations of molesting a girl. That morning, policemen pulled him out of school and brought him for questioning at Ang Mo Kio Police Headquarters. He was alone throughout the interrogation, and was not allowed to see his mother.
