    I am one of David Hartanto's close friend and I am here to give you
    some facts, assumptions, possibilities about this case

    Facts:

    1. Lok Tat Seng: Dean of Student of NTU gathered all Indonesian students in
    International Student Center on evening after incident and
    he just said there was witness on the spot who saw David's body lying on the ground,
    dead. Dean did not said that witness saw David jumped from balcony.
    And that is, according to him, all he has saw.

    2. The only official statement from police is: David was found dead at
    the crime scene, they did not mention whether he commited suicide.

    The link: http://www.straitstimes.com/STI/STIM...20at%20NTU.pdf

    They also just mention 'The professor was believed to be stabbed'. The police
    did not say that 'the professor was stabbed'. Where this assumption come from? Why
    they did not say about it?

    3. I and some Indonesian students gather tonight, 3 March 2009, at 8 pm,
    at International Student Center and talked to David's parent.
    They have seen his body. There was NO WOUND whatsoever on his wrists
    and police also has confirmed it.
    I assumed that his parent would not lie it means that all media news about
    'David slashed his wrist' was FAKE.

    4. The wounds found on David's body, according to his parents,
    were on his head (It is assumed due to fall injury),
    and slash wound on his neck. The wound on his neck is very suspicious, in
    my opinion. How he received that wound?? Again, according to his parent,
    police guessed that it may be happened when the bottom part of his head smashed
    the ground. In that case, his chin will have broken and it did not.
    My question is: WHERE DOES THAT SLASH WOUND ON HIS NECK CAME FROM?

    Assumptions:
    1. David stabbed professor. How did you know? The crime scene is closed room,
    only David and that professor. No one see what has happened.
    Eye-witness only saw David run out from that room.

    2. David commited suicide. How could someone who commited suicide drop himself
    into glassed roof, instead of directly drop himself to ground.

    3. David slashed his wrist. I do not know where this news came from...

    4. David's motivation.

    4.1. He pissed off since his prof did not give satisfactory grade

    The grade has not been released and he even has not submitted the report.
    It is also NTu policy not to inform the student about the grade which they got
    before release of the result.

    4.2. He has mental problem

    No record in Student Counselling Centre about his attendance. For bright student
    as him, I did not believe that he did not attend counseling if he has some
    problems. Also, he still brought bag with usual daily stuff, on incident day,
    such as drink bottle, towel, etc. If David planned to kill someone why would
    he prepare to bring such things. It is easier for him to just bring one knife
    and stab his prof on spot.

    4.3. He pissed off because his scholarship has been revoked

    I knew David since I was his roommate for 2 consecutive
    years during Mathematical Olympiad training camp. He almost did not
    qualify for IMO, only managed to get at 14th rank from 15 people selected.
    He still joked and laughed to me at that time. He also did not get anything
    from IMO and still fine, not seemed depressed whatsoever, and according to his
    parents, he said 'At least, I managed to represent Indonesia at IMO'
    He also still play Hammerfall game in Facebook at 2 am on the incident day. My friend
    saw his Facebook account online. How come
    a murderer played game in the night before incident? If I was him,
    I will seriously think how would I prepare myself tomorrow

    Possibilities:
    1. Professor attacked David. I deduced this thing for several key points.
    According to many reports, David's cloth was soaked on blood. If the blood is
    the result from slashing his wrist, it should not soak his cloth since wrist is
    far from body. If the wound is from neck, it is easier.

    2. David tried to run from Professor. After he realized that he was attacked,
    he resisted and run from that room, with wound on his neck.

    3. David falled because of unconsciousness. He became panic and probably lose
    his common sense because of terrible bleeding, drop himself down into glassed roof
    to escape from his Professor.
