KOTA KINABALU: There were no eye-witnesses when Zara Qairina Mahathir fell from the 3rd floor of her school hostel on July 16, 2025. the Coroner's Court was told.

The investigating officer, Inspector Wong Yew Zhung, said no one, including security guards or hostel wardens, had patrolled the third floor of the hostel block where Zara Qairina stayed on the night of the incident.

"My inspection also found that there were no closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in the hostel area that could have provided footage of the incident," he said while reading his written statement before Coroner Amir Shah Amir Hassan.

Wong said statements from students indicated that Zara Qairina was last seen by a group of students at about 10pm on July 15 when she was summoned by several Form Four students over an alleged theft.
