Zara's family lawyers urge charges if evidence is strong
Published on: Thursday, August 14, 2025 Published on: Thu, Aug 14, 2025 Text Size: KOTA KINABALU: Lawyers representing the family of the late Zara Qairina Mahathir have urged the Attorney-General's Chambers to charge those identified in the police investigation for allegedly bullying the teenager, if the evidence can be upheld in court. The legal team – Shahlan Jufri, Rizwandean M Borhan, Mohd Luqman Syazwan Zabidi, Mohd Syarulnizam Mohd Salleh and Farrah Nasser – said that if the evidence allows charges under Section 507D(2) of the Penal Code, which carries a maximum 10-year jail term, fine, or both, there would be no need for an inquest. They added that if the evidence is insufficient, police should continue investigations and hold an inquest concurrently, with prosecution to follow once the case is stronger. The lawyers also dismissed an online 'plot twist' suggesting their client caused Zara's death, calling it false and malicious, and thanked the CID Director Datuk M Kumar, Bukit Aman, and the Special Task Force for their swift action. They expressed appreciation to Malaysians for their prayers and support, and urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified claims and to share any information with the police or approach them directly. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
