Drowned man's family sues
By TEH JOO LIN
Mr Starke drowned while stuck to a suction drain's hole.
THE family of a German national who drowned in 2006 after he was trapped at the bottom of a condominium's spa pool has filed a lawsuit against the management corporation of the condominium and its managing agent.
The relatives of Mr Arndt Starke are seeking damages in the High Court from the Goldenhill Park Condominium's management corporation and Knight Frank Estate Management (KFEM), hired to manage the condominium.
Mr Starke's mother and his two brothers blamed the parties for being negligent in their duties to keep the pool at the Mei Hwan Drive condo safe.
