KOTA KINABALU, Oct 6 — The stepsister of the late Zara Qairina Mahathir told the Coroner’s Court that she never lived with the teenager and had no first-hand knowledge of how Zara Qairina’s mother cared for and raised her.
Malianah Mahathir, 25, the 81st witness, said she only knew of Zara Qairina’s life and family from social media posts as well as information from her father.
When questioned by lawyer Shahlan Jufri, who represents Zara Qairina’s mother, Malianah said she had seen photographs of the family through the Facebook accounts of Zara Qairina, her mother and her father.
“I only saw them through Facebook posts. I used to stalk their photos all the time. A happy family, right?” she said before Coroner Amir Shah Amir Hassan during today’s inquest proceedings.
