Crucial for judiciary to determine how man died

What happened between the police and 29-year-old Lei Yang on Saturday night? The entire truth about Lei's death is indispensable if justice is not only done but seen to be done in this case.

According to the latest statement by the police released on Wednesday, the young man put up a fierce resistance when police officers tried to interrogate him about his visit to a foot massage parlor, where sex services were believed to be provided. He even bit a police officer and tried to escape. After he was again subdued and put handcuffed into a police van, he was observed to be in physical distress and sent immediately to a hospital where he died.

From the police statement, there is no telling whether the police officers assaulted him because of his resistance, nor is there any evidence to connect his death with what the police officers did to him.
