KOTA KINABALU: The security guard on duty on the night Zara Qairina Mahathir was found unconscious informed the Coroner’s Court today that she attempted to rouse the teenager by calling her name and holding her cheeks, but there was no response.
Linah Mansoding @ Jaliha, 65, who described the Form One student’s condition at the time, said Zara Qairina was breathing laboriously, as if ‘snoring’.
The mother of four was being questioned by Shahlan Jufri, counsel for Zara’s family, on the seventh day of the inquest proceedings into the teenager’s death before Coroner Amir Shah Amir Hassan.
Shahlan: At the time you called for Zara, did she give any response?
Linah: She appeared to be sleeping and snoring… she was lying flat on her back, it was pitiful. – Bernama
