The Paris prosecutor's office has opened a preliminary investigation for kidnapping and kidnapping of Nora Quoirin, the missing Franco-Irish teenager found dead in Malaysia, it was reported Wednesday. This investigation was opened Friday, before the discovery of the body of the girl, aged 15 years.
Missing in the night of August 3 or 4 while on vacation with her family south of Kuala Lumpur, Nora Quoirin was then actively sought for ten days. On Tuesday, her lifeless body was found near the site where she was missing.
The family thinks of an abduction but justice does not confirm
The qualification of kidnapping and sequestration retained by the parquet of Paris is a global qualification, but the justice does not have, for the moment, of specific elements letting think about this track. Moreover, the French justice can only investigate abroad on criminal facts. It was therefore not possible to choose the qualification of "disturbing disappearance" for example.
As soon as Nora Quoirin disappeared, her family thought of an abduction, stating that the girl, suffering from a slight mental handicap, was not used to running away. The relatives of the teenager filed a complaint against X Monday in France. A Malaysian lawyer has been appointed to represent their interests.
