The teenager allegedly involved in a motorcycle chase that caused the death of a Land Transport Authority (LTA) officer intends to plead guilty on Jan 10, 2025.

The 19-year-old motorcyclist, who has been remanded since June after the fatal accident, had been expected to admit to his offences on Nov 15.

But his defence lawyer, Mr Foo Ho Chew, applied for the case to be adjourned, saying the prosecution's address on sentence was just handed to the lawyer in November.

The prosecution had no objections to this, and Deputy Principal District Judge Kessler Soh granted the adjournment.

The accused faces 13 charges, including riding a motorcycle in a dangerous manner, weapon possession and drug consumption.

The weapon was a samurai sword with a 40cm blade and a red sheath.
