‘Zara unlikely to have been pushed’


KOTA KINABALU: Form 1 student Zara Qairina Mahathir was unlikely to have been pushed or accidentally fell from the third floor of her hostel, a pathologist told the Coroner’s court here.

Dr Jessie Hiu, who led a four-­member team to conduct Zara Qairina’s post-mortem after the body was exhumed, said that the railings at the hostel were higher in comparison to the teenager’s height for her to accidentally topple or be pushed over.
