SINGAPORE: Singapore yesterday said it welcomed any independent evidence from US investigators on the mysterious death of an American scientist found hanged in the city-state last year.
The parents of Shane Todd have raised suspicions he was murdered in his Singapore flat as a result of his role in a high-tech research project said to have involved a Chinese telecoms giant seen as a threat to US security.
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said it had “several discussions” with the FBI and both agencies were sharing information to ensure a thorough investigation of the case.
“As part of its investigation, the SPF will also take into account any information and evidence that the FBI may independently gather,” it said in a statement.
Singapore police earlier asked the FBI to examine evidence in the possession of Todd’s family.
The police findings will be submitted to a coroner’s inquiry, which will determine the cause of the electronics engineer’s death.
