SEREMBAN, Oct 2 (NNN-BERNAMA) — The\u00a0Coroner’s Court here\u00a0was\u00a0told that two dogs belonging to the Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) failed to unearth any\u00a0clues during the three-day search mission\u00a0for Irish-French\u00a0teenager\u00a0Nora Anne Quoirin\u00a0which started on Aug 5,\u00a02019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 18th witness in the inquest to determine Nora Anne\u2019s death, JBPM Tracker Dog Unit (K9) fire officer from the Jalan Klang Lama station in Kuala Lumpur Jackson Ringkai Anak Gawan, 28, said a Labrador breed named ‘Buddy’ did not give any positive reaction during the search near The Dusun Resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe first search attempt which started at 10.30 am on Aug 5 did not obtain positive leads,\u201d he said when testifying before Coroner Maimoonah Aid Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked by deputy public prosecutor Norhafiza Haron, who is the inquest coordinating officer on the dog\u2019s reaction if it managed to detect something, Jackson said: \u201cif it detects something the dog will stand still, stare and bark.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To a question from Nora Anne\u2019s family lawyer, S.Sakthyvell on whether Buddy was directed by him during the search, Jackson said he just followed the dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the 19th witness, Fire Officer Ajat Anak Menang, 30, also from the same unit told the court that Border Collie breed named \u2018Murphy\u2019 also failed to locate Nora Anne\u2019s whereabouts during the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ajat said he and Murphy would verify Jackson\u2019s findings in the search operation to locate Nora Anne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked by Norhafiza on whether the use of different dogs would affect the search mission, Ajat said: \u201cIt does not affect the search operation if there are smell traces\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The inquest proceedings will continue from Oct 19 to 23 with witnesses including from the Royal Malaysia Police and JBPM will be called to testify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn November, we will focus on Nora Anne\u2019s family,\u201d said Maimoonah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nora Anne, 15, went missing on Aug 4 last year, a day after she and her family arrived in Malaysia for a two-week holiday at a resort in Pantai here, about 60 km south of Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her body was found on Aug 13 near a stream about 2.5 km from the resort following a massive search conducted by the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A preliminary post-mortem report revealed there were no criminal elements in Nora Anne\u2019s death and that the teenager had died of gastrointestinal bleeding, due to prolonged stress and hunger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
