Nora Anne's post-mortem findings to be announced at 8pm on Wednesday (Aug 14), say cops


SEREMBAN: The findings of the post-mortem conducted on the remains of 15-year-old Nora Anne Quoirin will be announced at 8pm on Wednesday (Aug 14).

The police had initially scheduled a press conference at 5pm.

State police deputy chief Che Zakaria Othman said the medical team was still in the midst of carrying out their work.

"They need at least two more hours, " he told reporters waiting outside the Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital mortuary.

Earlier Wednesday, Nora Anne's family said they would only decide on their next course of action with their lawyer Sankara Nair after the post-mortem, saying that it was too early to make a decision now.

A search-and-rescue team found her remains in a ravine at 1.57pm on Tuesday (Aug 13).

Her remains had to be winched up by helicopter and taken to the hospital for the post-mortem.

Nora Anne's naked body was found in a stream some 2.5km from the resort she was staying in.

The teenager disappeared from the resort she was living with her family on Aug 4. She had checked into the property with her parents Sebastian Marie Philipe and Meabh Jaseprine Quoirin and siblings Innes Julia and Maurice Arthure a day earlier.

However, she was not found in her room she shared with her siblings the following morning.

A window in the room that could only be opened from the inside was open.

The girl who is of French-Irish parentage had learning difficulties.
