investigation. The reason was no new evidence has been received in connection Mr. Liu's death' (refer to S.C.M. Post, 25th Nov. ). From our understanding, he, being well-known as a most filial son, would not commit suicide. My family recognizes our profound indeb- tedness to the Hong Kong Barrister Association whose professional concern and report is a great help. In addition to the report, I would like to point out a few more reason for our plea for inde-
pendent re-investigation.
His working environment and the Government:-
The environment of his work arouses suspicion. His post was a result of a recent re-arrangement of administrative organisation in the police force. His duty included accessing important confidential records and files which had been formerly carried out by Senior Police Inspectors. However, he did not belong to the police force, and was responsible only to the Chief Secretariat. Undoubtedly, he was in a very odd position. Around the time of his death, more than eighty policemen in the Yaumati Police Station have been being investigated for syndicate corruption by the Independent Commission Against Corruption ( I.C.A.C. ). The recent incident of conflict between the police and the I.C.A.C. may well make the public suspect that Fing-hon's death would have some connection with the police. On the other hand, the Hong Kong Government has the duty to clarify the case to the public and to find out the fact of the death of her
employee.
The police investigation:-
The investigation was cursory. To give examples, the police took practical action only one week after we had report the two anonymous phone-calls to them. It gave me the impression that the police took action only on our pressure.
In the view that the police is suspected to have some connec- tion with my brother's death, we request an independent re-investiga- tion. I find no way out now in Hong Kong. I hope you can fight for
