Hard to watch footage of son in handcuffs, says teen's mother

The 51-year-old was at the CNB headquarters yesterday, four hours before the findings of the internal investigation were released.

Ms Ow said she was told of the outcome of the investigations and shown closed-circuit television footage of her son, Justin Lee, being interviewed by CNB officers.

“It was him and two officers and all the while his left hand was handcuffed to the table, but other than that he looked well. Just watching him was difficult,” said the senior lecturer at a polytechnic.

Justin, who was facing drug trafficking charges, died after a fall from height on Sept 16.
