SINGAPORE: The parents of an NTU undergraduate, who fell to his death after stabbing his professor in the university campus, has identified his body at the Singapore General Hospital mortuary.

David Widjaja's parents and his elder brother were accompanied by NTU counsellors and officials from the Indonesian Embassy here.
An NTU spokesman said they are still deciding whether to bring the body back to Jakarta or to cremate him in Singapore.
The spokesman said the university is providing them with "all the necessary assistance".
Meanwhile, Professor Chan Kap Luk is recovering at the National University Hospital after undergoing an emergency operation on Monday to stitch up wounds on his back.
A finger on his right hand was also placed in a splint. He is expected to be discharged in a few days.
