Hostel resident heard loud thump before Zara Qairina’s fall


KOTA KINABALU: At least one hostel resident heard a loud thump just before the body of 13-year-old Zara Qairina Mahathir was found sprawled on the ground in the early hours of July 16.

The student, who had woken early to do her laundry to avoid a long queue, said the sound came from outside the laundry room, about 15 feet from where Zara Qairina’s body was found.
