An 'open' verdict has now been recorded

Further investigations could take place into the death of teenager Nóra Quoirin in Malaysia.

It's after an inquest verdict of 'misadventure' was overturned and an 'open' verdict recorded.

Eamonn Torsney reports:



"Earlier this year, an inquest found that the Irish-French teenager likely got lost in the jungle after leaving her family's cottage on her own.

It ruled out the involvement of other people in the teenager's death.

Nóra Quoirin went missing near a holiday resort in Malaysia in August 2019 a day after she arrived for a holiday.

Her parents have consistently said they believe someone else was involved, and were 'utterly disappointed' by the coroner's verdict.

However a Malaysian Judge today overturned the original decision and changed the verdict from 'misadventure' to an 'open' verdict.

The move could mean that further investigations into the death of the teenager could take place "
