A Malaysian court said it would not reopen a probe into the death of an Irish teenager Nora Anne Quoirin whose body was found in a jungle after she went missing during a family holiday

In August 2019, the naked body of Nora Anne Quoirin, 15, who suffered from learning difficulties, was found in a ravine near a holiday resort where her family was staying in Seremban, about 70 km south of the Malaysian capital.

Coroner Maimoonah Aid ruled that there was no one involved in Quoirin’s death and it was more likely she had simply got lost in the jungle.“For me to speculate and presume of her actions and involvement of a third party without any proof, that would be a breach of my duty so the inquiry is hereby closed.”

In a statement, Quoirin’s family said they were “utterly disappointed”, reiterating their belief that she had been kidnapped.
