Court overturns coroner’s ruling on Dutch model’s death

KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has ruled that the death of Dutch model, Ivana Esther Robert Smit, was caused by “persons known or unknown”, and overturned a coroner’s ruling that the death was due to misadventure.

Justice Collin Lawrence Sequerah reached the verdict yesterday after allowing an application by Smit’s family to review a coroner’s ruling in March.
