Lord Mayor of Belfast John Finucane will open a book of condolence for Nora Quoirin at City Hall today at 3.30pm. It’ll be available for signing during normal opening hours.
Meanwhile, the results of the post mortem on the body of Nora will be submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
That’s to determine whether there is a need for an inquest, according to lawyer Sankara N Nair.
Nora’s family say their ‘hearts are broken’ after the teenager’s body was found less than two miles from The Dusan resort in Malaysia.
In an emotional statement, the family also thanked those volunteers and personnel involved in the search for the 15-year-old Irish girl.
They spoke about how the teenager had ‘truly touched the world’.
“Nora is at the heart of our family.
“She is the truest, most precious girl and we love her infinitely.
“The cruelty of her being taken away is unbearable.
“Our hearts are broken.
“We will always love our Nora.”
“We would like to thank all the people that have been searching for Nora and trying their best to find her.
“We thank the local people here and those far and wide for their prayers and support at this time.
“Nora has brought people together, especially from France, Ireland, Britain and Malaysia, united in their love and support for her and her family.
“To all our friends and family at home, we can’t thank you enough for all your love.”
Nora was born with holoprosencephaly, which meant she had difficulty walking and performing daily tasks.
She went missing on Sunday, August 4, while on holiday with her family at the resort, south east of Kuala Lumpur.
Deputy police chief Mazlan Mansor said her body was unclothed when it was found at a waterfall.
He added that police were investigating all possibilities including criminal.
