THE Coroner’s Court in Seremban has set January 4 to deliver the verdict on the inquest into the death of Franco-Irish teenager Nora Anne Quoirin.

Lawyer for the Quoirin family, S. Sakthyvell, told Bernama this today.

“The decision is expected to be announced at 10am in the Coroner’s Court, Seremban Court Complex,” he said when contacted.

Coroner Maimoonah Aid conducted the inquest, which ended on December 10.

A total of 47 witnesses,  including the parents of the deceased, Meabh Jaseprine Quoirin and Sebastien Quoirin, testified in the inquiry, which opened on August 24.

It was broadcast live on official Malaysian Judiciary channels on YouTube and social media.

Nora Anne, 15, was reported missing on August 4, a day after she and her family arrived in Malaysia for a two-week vacation. They had checked into a resort in Pantai, about 60km south of Kuala Lumpur.

Ten days later, her body was found near a creek in a ravine about 2.5km from the resort where she had stayed.

The post-mortem report said there was no indication of foul play and death was due to gastrointestinal bleeding caused by prolonged hunger and stress. – Bernama, December 24, 2020.
