- Story Text: Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Wan Azizah Wan Ismail extended her condolences to the Quoirin family on Friday (August 16) after the death of 15-year-old Nora Anne, and gave assurance of her body's return.
Speaking at a news conference, Ismail expressed her sadness about the incident and added that the police would help to send her remains home. She did not specify to which country.
Ismail was set to personally visit the Quoirin family after speaking to reporters outside the Pantai Police Station on Friday. Quoirin's mother is from Belfast and her father is French, but both have lived in London for a number of years.
Malaysian police on Thursday (August 15) ruled out abduction as a motive in the disappearance of the teen, who was found dead near a jungle stream after a 10-day search, saying they had found no signs pointing to foul play.
