Lawyer: Nora Anne's family expects thorough probe
- 5 years ago
Malaysian police should accept an offer by French authorities to help investigate the death of an Irish girl whose naked body was found near a jungle stream, the family's lawyer said on Wednesday.
"The family expects the police to do a thorough investigation into the incident, including criminal angles," their lawyer, Sankara N Nair, told Reuters, clarifying an earlier comment that the family "won’t press for anything" did not mean they opposed a full inquiry.
Autopsy results are expected later in the day, police said, after the body of Nora Anne Quoirin, 15, was found on Tuesday, 10 days after she went missing from a rainforest resort in Seremban.
Nora’s mother is from Belfast while her father is French.
France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said last night that the country’s authorities were ready to investigate the circumstances of her death.
