KOTA KINABALU: Zara Qairina Mahathir's mother, Noraidah Lamat, has contested the police's classification of her daughter's death as a Sudden Death Report. During a questioning by the Coroner's Court, Noraidah adamantly disagreed with the police's assessment and expressed her hope for justice for Zara.
When asked if she agreed that Zara's death was not a case of murder, Noraidah reiterated her conviction that her daughter would not have chosen to take her own life, stating her hope for justice. She also questioned why Zara would have decided to jump from the third floor of her school hostel, given her description as a lively and strong child.
Noraidah admitted that there were no eyewitnesses to the incident, as stated by Ustaz Azhari, who noted that all students were asleep by 11pm. She also could not confirm if anyone pushed Zara, causing her to fall, as she lacked clear information from the school or the investigating police officers.
