Mother agrees bruising on Zara Qairina’s back caused by blood clotting, not a blow

The court confirmed bruising on Zara Qairina's body was due to blood clotting, not a blow, as informed by a doctor.

Zara's mother, Noraidah Lamat, had no confirmation from doctors of injuries from a blunt object despite initial concerns.

A police report was lodged to seek further investigation as the family lacked clear explanations about Zara's condition.

KOTA KINABALU, Oct 12 — The mother of the late Zara Qairina Mahathir agreed with the medical expert’s explanation at the Coroner’s Court here today that the bruising on her daughter’s back observed while bathing the body was not caused by a blow, but rather by blood clotting.

Noraidah Lamat, 46, the 82nd witness in the inquest proceedings, said she was informed of this by a doctor on August 10 last year, after she had voiced concerns that the bruising might have resulted from being struck by a blunt object.

When asked by lawyer Abdul Fikry Jaafar Abdullah whether the bruising was indeed due to blood clotting as explained by the doctor rather than a blow, Noraidah replied: “That is correct, sir.”

She also acknowledged that none of the doctors who treated Zara Qairina had ever confirmed to her that there were injuries caused by a blunt object, contrary to claims made in a media statement issued by the family’s lawyer on August 3 last year.

However, Noraidah explained that the media statement was issued following a police report she lodged at the Sipitang district police headquarters, in which she requested further investigation into the bruising observed while bathing her daughter’s body on July 17, 2025.

She said the step was taken because, at the time, the family had not received a clear explanation from investigators regarding the actual circumstances surrounding Zara Qairina’s condition, which had raised various questions concerning her death.

Noraidah also told the court that she had never personally concluded that her daughter had been struck with a blunt object; instead, she had left the matter to the authorities to investigate.

Zara Qairina passed away at Queen Elizabeth Hospital on July 17, 2025, a day after being found unconscious near a drain at her school dormitory in the early hours of the morning.

法庭证实，医生表示，扎拉·凯里娜身上的瘀伤是由于血液凝固造成的，而不是受到打击所致。

Zara 的母亲 Noraidah Lamat 尽管最初担心女儿是被钝器击伤，但医生并未证实这一点。

由于家属未能就扎拉的病情做出明确解释，因此向警方报案，要求进行进一步调查。

哥打基纳巴卢，10月12日讯——已故扎拉·凯丽娜·马哈蒂尔的母亲今天在死因法庭上同意医学专家的解释，即在清洗女儿遗体时观察到的她女儿背部的瘀伤并非由击打造成，而是由血液凝固造成。

46 岁的诺拉伊达·拉马特是此次调查程序中的第 82 位证人，她说，去年 8 月 10 日，一位医生告诉了她这件事，此前她曾表示担心瘀伤可能是被钝器击中造成的。

当律师阿卜杜勒·菲克里·贾法尔·阿卜杜拉询问诺拉伊达，瘀伤是否如医生解释的那样是由于血液凝固而不是受到撞击所致时，诺拉伊达回答说：“没错，先生。”

她还承认，治疗过 Zara Qairina 的所有医生都没有向她证实，Zara Qairina 的伤是由钝器造成的，这与去年 8 月 3 日该家庭律师发表的媒体声明中的说法相反。

然而，诺拉伊达解释说，这份媒体声明是在她向西必丹区警察总部提交警方报告后发布的，她在报告中要求对2025年7月17日给女儿洗澡时发现的瘀伤进行进一步调查。

她说，之所以采取这一步骤，是因为当时调查人员没有就扎拉·凯里娜的病情实际情况给出明确的解释，这引发了人们对她死亡的各种疑问。

诺拉伊达还告诉法庭，她从未亲自断定她的女儿是被钝器击打的；相反，她将此事交由当局调查。

2025 年 7 月 17 日，Zara Qairina 在伊丽莎白女王医院去世。此前一天凌晨，有人发现她昏迷在学校宿舍附近的排水沟旁。
