Police have completed their investigation into the death of 13-year-old Zara Qairina Mahathir, with the investigation paper expected to be submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers by next week.
Home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said statements from 60 witnesses had been recorded, Bernama reported.
“The investigation is complete. I expect the police will submit the (investigation) paper to the AGC by next week at the latest,” he was quoted as saying after attending the Malaysian Maritime Basic Training graduation ceremony in Kuantan, Pahang, today.
Saifuddin was asked about the latest developments in the case involving Zara Qairana, who was found unconscious at 4am on July 16 after she allegedly fell from the third floor of her school hostel in Papar, Sabah.
She died the next day at Queen Elizabeth I Hospital in Kota Kinabalu.
Sabah police commissioner Jauteh Dikun had said Bukit Aman was reviewing the case, and police had not ruled out the possibility that the Form One student was bullied.
