Nora Anne inquest: Coroner’s Court wants witness list trimmed, Aug 4 next date

SEREMBAN: The Coroner's Court has fixed Aug 4 for case management into the death of Irish schoolgirl Nora Anne Quoirin and ordered the conducting officer of the inquest to"narrow down" the number of witnesses after the latter presented a list of 589 names.

She added that that if a big group had been involved in any of the operations, there was no need to call every member. "Our intention is to assist the coroner to achieve the purpose of the inquest," he said, adding that he was prepared to remove names of witnesses the court felt were not needed. Meanwhile lawyer Sankara N. Nair, who is representing the family, later told reporters it was common to have many potential witnesses in an inquest."But like the Coroner said, the conducting officer can probably narrow down the numbers as there are usually many people involved in a search group and not all may have to be called in," he said."They have done it in the United Kingdom but it will be up to them to tender it to the Coroner," he said.
