An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
To recap, it had seemed odd that a criminal case was held before a coroner’s inquiry into the death of Dinesh Raman Chinniah, 21. Out of eight prison officers who were involved in subduing the lanky youth who had kicked a warden, the most senior was taken to task for neglecting to supervise the incident adequately. He was fined $10,000. There was also a committee of inquiry held by the Home Affairs ministry. It took place before the court case and its results are not made public.
TNP reported a lawyer saying it was “uncommon” for the court case to come before the coroner’s findings. To a layman too, it would make perfect sense for the coroner to rule on whether the death was un-natural or not and then the case passed on to the justice system to see if someone was responsible.
But the AGC said it was “not uncommon” for inquiries to be adjourned or discontinued, where the AGC commences criminal prosecution in respect of the death caused.
