KUALA LUMPUR – The family of the late Nora Anne Quoirin will file for a revision of the Seremban coroner’s court ruling that the Franco-Irish teenager’s death was due to “misadventure”.

“Yes, we got the instruction from the family. We will file it at the Seremban High Court as soon as possible,” lawyer Louise Azmi told Bernama today.

On January 4, coroner Maimoonah Aid ruled that no one was involved in the 15-year-old’s death, and that it was a case of misadventure.

A total of 48 witnesses, including Nora Anne’s parents, Meabh Jaseprine Quoirin and Sebastien Quoirin, testified during the inquest, which began on August 24 last year.

Nora Anne went missing on August 4, 2019, a day after she and her family arrived in Malaysia for a two-week vacation at a resort in Pantai, Seremban.

Ten days later, her body was found near a creek in a ravine about 2.5km from the resort, following a massive search.

The preliminary post-mortem report said there were no criminal elements in her death, and that the teen, who had learning disabilities, died from gastrointestinal bleeding due to prolonged hunger and stress. – Bernama, January 20, 2021
