KOTA KINABALU: The inquest into the death of Zara Qairina Mahathir has been adjourned, after 52 days of hearings, and will resume on Jan 21.
The adjournment was to accommodate a related criminal trial next week involving five minors accused of bullying Zara, a Form One pupil of a religious secondary school in Papar who died a day after she was found unconscious near a drain at the school hostel.
The criminal trial is scheduled for Dec 8-12 and Dec 15-19.
