A UK-based missing persons charity supporting the family of Nora Anne Quoirin have rejected an Irish lawyer’s allegation that the family were complicit in Nora Anne’s disappearance and death.
“There is no truth in this story,” said Matthew Searle, chief executive of the Lucie Blackman Trust, in a brief reply to FMT when asked for comments on its report yesterday that police were looking into the claims raised by lawyer Anne Brennan.
In a heated Facebook post yesterday morning, Brennan, who is a child activist, had accused Nora’s family of doing “everything in their power to subvert the course of justice”.
She alleged that the parents, Meabh and Sebastien Quorin, had “high-tailed” it out of the country upon receiving a guarantee that they would not be investigated for any involvement in the teenager’s disappearance and death.
Searle declined comment on Brennan’s claims nor would he state if legal action would be taken against Brennan.
Brennan had claimed that the family had “somehow convinced the Malaysian authorities to abandon their murder inquiry and release Nora’s body without producing the necessary forensic and toxicology reports that form part of every standard criminal death investigation”.
Calling the entire matter a “cover-up”, Brennan alleged the Quoirins had given no account of their movements in the hours before they reported their daughter missing.
Brennan also pointed out that the police had confirmed there was no evidence of a “third party” entering the family’s villa on the night Nora Anne was reported missing.
“There was no evidence of a struggle. No fingerprints, footprints, or screams. Nobody heard anything.
“Malaysian police said that Nora did not go alone. A third party was involved, and the third party was someone known to Nora.”
