KOTA KINABALU: Post mortem
results released Friday afternoon reveal that internal head injuries caused the
death of 16-year-old Norikoh Saliwah, whose body was found by the roadside in
Kota Marudu on Nov. 25.
Her body was discovered by
passers-by near Kg Ranau about 2km from Kota Marudu town, prompting much
speculation over the Internet on how she died. A Pakistani is currently being
detained in connection with her death.
Kota Marudu Investigating
Officer Insp. Pirikson Ubak said the post mortem result from the Pathology
Department here showed no traces of injury which indicated that Norikoh was
raped.
On how she got the internal
head injuries, he said, the case is still being investigated.
State Police Commissioner
Datuk Hamza Taib during a media conference on Wednesday had said that Norikoh
was accompanied by her 32-year-old sister and a 15-year-old relative to find a
job in Kota Marudu town.
Her cousin was then offered
a job at a furniture shop some two kilometres from the town after which the
furniture shop manager took them back to town and offered to have a drink with
them.
While having a drink, the
victim's sister realised that she had forgotten something at the furniture shop
and asked the victim to follow the shop manager back to the shop to collect it.
After they left, the
victim's sister called the victim to check if she was fine to which the victim
said she was.
However, not long after
that, they received news that the victim's body was found by the roadside with
injuries to her head.
This placed the 40-year-old
Pakistani shop manager as the last person known to be with the victim before
she died and he was detained to facilitate investigations on Nov. 27. (DE)
