There is no escape for families in Yemen

who are fl eeing their homes because of war.

Thousands of children have nothing – no home,

no clean water, no food, and no hospital to go

to when they are ill or injured.

Many have no choice but to live on the streets

and beg for food. Will you help them?

The people of Yemen

are in urgent need.

Please help them today.

A postmortem o n Nora Quoirin, the
15-year-old girl whose body was found
in the Malaysian jungle, has yet to
determine a defi nitive cause of death
and is set to continue , police have said.
The body of the teenager, from Lon-
don, was discovered by a team of local
hikers on Tuesday afternoon. She had
been missing for 10 days.
Nora was found unclothed , in
a steep, inaccessible ravine near a
stream, just over a mile from the
resort in Negeri Sembilan where she
had been staying with her family. Her
body was taken by helicopter to a hos-
pital, according to an offi cial.
Police said the area had been

Sembilan, Che Zakaria Othman , said :

“ The post mortem started at 11:45am.

The four-man team are still carrying

out their work so the police cannot tell

the criminal investigation division the

results yet. There is nothing more we

can say for the moment.”

It is understood that the Malaysian

attorney general, Tommy Thomas , has

stepped in to oversee the case and has

requested test samples.

Nora had holoprosencephaly, a

neurological disorder, which lim-

ited her speech and coordination and

made her “very vulnerable”, her par-

ents said. Her family said she must

have been abducted as she never went

anywhere by herself. The police have

treated it as a missing person case, but

not ruled out a “criminal element”.

In a statement yesterday, the family

described their agony at Nora’s death

in a statement, describing her as “at

the heart of our family ”. It added: “She

is the truest, most precious girl and

we love her infi nitely. The cruelty of

her being taken away is unbearable.

Our hearts are broken. We will always

love our Nora.”

The family thanked those who

had been involved in the search for

Nora, adding: “Nora has brought peo-

ple together, especially from France,

Ireland, Britain and Malaysia, united

in their love and support for her and

her family. She has truly touched the

whole world. To all our friends and

family at home, we can’t thank you

enough for all your love.”

The Lucie Blackman Trust, which

has spoken on behalf of the family,

called for “an end to speculation” and

to “let the family grieve in peace and

the authorities do their job ”.

Nora’s father, Sebastien, is French.

The Paris prosecutor’s offi ce said it

ha d opened a criminal investigation

into Nora’s death; French prosecutors

regularly investigate cases involving

French citizens abroad.

The search for Nora had lasted 10

days and included more than 350 peo-

ple, including British, French and Irish

police. She disappeared on the morn-

ing of 4 August from the hotel room

she was sharing with her brother and

sister at the Dusan resort, in Negeri

Sembilan.

Sankaran Nair , the lawyer who is

representing her family, said: “They

are totally distraught, totally over-

whelmed. They are grieving.”

Quoirin , and father, Sebastien – iden-

The autopsy was begun yester-

day by a pathologist from Kuala

Lumpur general hospital, a local hos-

pital doctor and two experts from the

department of chemistry.
