Family of Franco-Irish teen Nora Quoirin welcome Malaysia inquest

LONDON: The family of a Franco-Irish teenager who went missing while on holiday in the Malaysian rainforest said on Saturday that they hoped an upcoming inquest into her death would finally provide answers.

The unclothed body of 15-year-old Nora Quoirin was discovered in August last year after she disappeared from a resort where she had been staying with her London-based family.After Malaysian authorities announced an inquest would start on Aug 24, her family said in a statement:"We are pleased that our mission for justice for Nora is moving forward.

"We have fought very hard to keep Nora's case alive, after it was initially closed by the police in early 2020, and it has been our wish all along to have an inquest. "This will be crucial in determining the fullest possible picture of what happened to Nora and how her case was dealt with." Nora's parents say they believe there was a"criminal element" to her death as the teen had learning difficulties and would not have wandered off alone, but Malaysian police insisted there was no sign of foul play.
