PETALING JAYA:
The Attorney-General’s Chambers has directed the police to exhume the body of Form 1 student Zara Qairina Mahathir in order for a post-mortem to be conducted.
“The post-mortem is necessary to ensure police will be able to obtain additional information and evidence needed to complete the probe into Zara Qairina’s death,” it said in a statement.
Zara Qairina was found unconscious at 4am on July 16 after she allegedly fell from the third floor of her school’s hostel in Papar, Sabah.
She died at Queen Elizabeth I Hospital in Kota Kinabalu the following day.
Sabah police commissioner Jauteh Dikun had previously said they had not ruled out the possibility that she had been bullied.
