Driver who caused teen’s death during expressway race not a student of NUS, says university
SINGAPORE - Jarrett Tee Lee Kiat, the driver who showed no remorse after causing the death of an 18-year-old teen during an expressway race, is not a student at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
In a statement posted on Facebook on July 1, NUS said: “There are no records that this individual has ever been or is currently a student of NUS. He has no affiliation with this university.”
It was stated in court documents that Tee was a full-time student at NUS at the time of the incident and reported as such on media platforms, including The Straits Times.
These court documents, which detailed Tee’s offence and the events leading up to it, were read out in court by Deputy Public Prosecutor Paul Chia on June 27, when Tee was sentenced.
ST has contacted the Attorney-General’s Chambers for more information.
Tee, 30, was sentenced to five years and eight months’ jail on June 27 after
he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving
causing the death of Ms Leann Lim Jia Le.
Tee was also handed a 10-year driving ban for his offence.
