Zara Qairina

The family lawyer confirmed the presence of injuries on Zara Qairina’s body and stressed that the post-mortem process was conducted transparently without external interference.

Zara Qairina was reported to have fallen from the third floor of a religious school dormitory building in Papar on July 16, before being pronounced dead the following day at Queen Elizabeth I Hospital.

The death of 13-year-old Zara Qairina Mahathir has shocked the nation amid growing outrage over suspected bullying at her school in Papar, Sabah.

The suspect has been remanded for three days for further investigation under Section 15(a)(1) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017.

Lawyers representing Noraidah Lamat, the mother of the late Zara Qairina Mahathir, have denied claims circulating online that the teenager was put into a washing machine, describing them as unfounded speculation.

The viral audio clips, each about 44 seconds long, were widely shared on social media and shed light on Zara Qairina’s fears for her safety, including her allegations of harassment by a group of senior students at her school.
