SEREMBAN, Aug 19 (Bernama) -- Police today denied a foreign media report claiming they had taken the parents of 15-year-old Nora Anne Quoirin to meet mediums after the search for the Franco-Irish teenager came to a dead end.
Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Mohamad Mat Yusop confirmed he had given no such orders to any of his officers.
“No necessity at all (to do so),” was his brief answer in a WhatsApp text message to Bernama here today.
In their report today, the United Kingdom's Daily Mail, quoting sources familiar with the investigation, said the police, in their desperation, had taken Nora Anne's parents to meet several mediums in the hope of finding a breakthrough when their search for the teenager appeared to have come to a dead end.
The report stated that the police had taken the parents - mother Meabh and father Sebastien - to meet the mediums on the night before her body was found the next day.
The body of the 15-year-old special-needs girl was found last Tuesday, the 10th day of search and rescue operations, about 2.5 km from an eco-resort in Pantai here after she went missing on Aug 4, a day after she and her family checked in for a holiday.
Police said the post-mortem on Nora Anne conducted on Aug 14 revealed that Nora Anne had died of gastrointestinal bleeding after having gone without food for a long time as well as prolonged stress.
Meanwhile, Mohamad also confirmed that the family have left the country.
