KOTA KINABALU: The Coroner's Court today allowed Zara Qairina Mahathir's mother to follow the inquest into her daughter's death from the public gallery.
Coroner Amir Shah Amir Hassan made the decision after hearing submissions from the parties involved, following the completion of Noraidah Lamat's testimony as the inquest's 82nd witness.
He said the court would consider any application to recall Noraidah as a witness before deciding on the matter.
Earlier, conducting officer Nahra Dollah objected to Noraidah's presence in the public gallery, expressing concern that it could prejudice her testimony if she were recalled.
