East Timor Legal News 28 Jult 2012 Source: The Dili Weekly Written by Venidora Oliveira - Investigations are underway to try to solve the case of Armindo Pereira, a Dili University student who died in Hera on 16 July 2012 after the Conference held by the Congresu Nasional Rekonstrusaun Timor (CNRT) at the Dili Convention Centre, Dili.

“Right now we are trying to establish possible suspects, which is not easy, so a lot of time is needed,” said Calisto Gonzaga, Director of Criminal Investigations Service, from his office in Caicoli, Dili.

According to Director Gonzaga things were heating up out there, so police went in to calm people down, but this resulted in the death of the youth.

“The situation was out of control and resulted in the death of one young man from Ossu, District of Viqueque. The victim was a third semester student at Dili University, said the Director.

SIC has approached the Public Prosecutor’s Office for cooperation in the investigation procedures.

Member of Parliament (NP) Maria Maia Reis asked police to speed the process so the culprit can be found.

“We must find the culprits and bring them to justice, this is about a person’s life,” MP Reis added.
