Teenager Nora Quoirin who was found dead in the Malaysian jungle after going missing on a family holiday, is to be buried in Belfast, according to French media.
L’yonne Republicaine is reporting that Nora’s funeral is set to take place on Tuesday, September 10 in Belfast.
The teenager disappeared from The Dusun in Malaysia on August 4. Her body was found less than two miles away from the resort where the family had been staying. Her unclothed body was found near a waterfall and rescuers had difficulty accessing the area.
Nora’s mother Meabh made a heartfelt appeal to find Nora as a £10,000 reward – donated by an anonymous Belfast business – was offered for information leading to her safe return.
Nora was born with the brain defect holoprosencephaly and had special needs.
The family had been staying in the two-storey Sora House at The Dusun. The night she arrived at the resort, Nora had gone to sleep with her two younger siblings. Her father Sebastien discovered her missing at around 8.30 am, the next morning. A window was found wide open. There was no evidence of forced entry.
Nora’s family insist she was abducted and they say there are many unanswered questions.
