SIPITANG, Aug 11 — The remains of 13-year-old Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) Tun Datu Mustapha Papar student, Zara Qairina Mahathir, were reburied at the Tanjung Ubi Muslim Cemetery here at 1.15am today.

Berita Harian reported that the reburial, which lasted about 30 minutes, followed an eight-hour post-mortem at Queen Elizabeth I Hospital (HQE) in Kota Kinabalu yesterday, starting at 11am and ending before 8pm.

Lawyer Shahlan Jufri, who was present at the family’s request, confirmed that the post-mortem was completed and the remains were prepared for reburial.

The body left HQE at 9.20pm and arrived in Sipitang at 12.41am, where family members, friends, and members of the public had gathered despite the rain.

On July 16, Zara was found unconscious in a drain around 4am, believed to have fallen from the third floor of her dormitory building. She later died while receiving treatment at HQE.

On July 31, Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jauteh Dikun said the investigation had not ruled out the possibility of bullying in the case.
