Parents of Nóra Quoirin are suing the Malaysian resort from where she disappeared

She went missing in August of last year.

RTE has reported that the parents of Irish teenager Nóra Quoirin are suing the resort from where she disappeared. It is said that the family are taking legal action against the resort for allegedly failing to provide adequate security. The body of 15-year-old Nóra was found in August 2019 after an intense search through dense Malaysian rainforest took place. She had been missing for 10 days. According to RTE, Nóra's parents, Meabh and Sebastien Quoirin, believe there was a "criminal element" to their daughter's case, but Malaysian police insist there was no sign of foul play. The family's lawyers have filed a civil suit against the popular Resort, seeking at least €40,000 in damages. The couple claim the entrance gate to their jungle cottage was left open at all times, and no guards were stationed outside and there was no CCTV installed at the premises. The parents say that their daughter's disappearance and death was "caused directly by the defendant's negligence and/or recklessness". The Quoirins are seeking damages for bereavement, funeral expenses and other costs, as well as any other damages as assessed by the court.
