Nora's family thanks M'sian authorities but hopes to get answers


SEREMBAN: The family of Nora Anne Quoirin has expressed gratitude to the Malaysian authorities for conducting the search for her but they say they hope to get answers to many unanswered questions.

In a statement issued through the Lucie Blackman Trust, the Quoirins said although the initial post-mortem results had given some information that helped them understand Nora cause of death, they struggled to understand what truly happened to the 15-year-old London schoolgirl whose unclothed remains were found after 10 days on Aug 13.

"Our beautiful innocent girl died in extremely complex circumstances, and we are hoping that soon we will have more answers to our many questions.

"We are still struggling to understand the events of the last 10 days, " they said.

The Quoirins also thanked the Malaysian authorities for their ongoing support and cooperation with international governments and police as the criminal and missing persons investigations continued.

The family conveyed this to Deputy Prime Minister Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail who visited them at a resort in Pantai Hills on Friday morning (Aug 16).

"We had the opportunity to thank for everything that the Malaysian government, police, search-and-rescue teams, local people and volunteers have done to help us.

"Tragically, as we know, this wasn’t enough to save Nora, " they said.

The family will also be taking Nora Anne's remains back to London to be laid to rest and close to her family in France and Ireland.

The charity said investigations would continue in France as it was standard practice in overseas cases involving French citizens.

"Whilst investigations are underway, we continue to urge an end to public speculation" the charity said.

The charity expressed hope that anyone with information on the case would forward it to the authorities.

It also confirmed that no payments were made in respect of the reward in connection with the discovery of Nora’s body.
