Zara Qairina inquest: Media ban stays until child witnesses finish testifying, says Coroner


KOTA KINABALU: The Coroner's Court here on Thursday (Sept 25) maintained the status quo of not allowing media practitioners to cover the inquest proceedings into the death of Zara Qairina Mahathir involving child witnesses who have been giving evidence since Monday (Sept 22).

Coroner Amir Shah Amir Hassan made the decision after Sabah prosecution director Nahra Dollah said that the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) would not allow the media to be present at the proceedings until all child witnesses had finished giving their evidence.
