Sunday, 11 August 2019 17:32

Malaysian police have set up a hotline dedicated for missing Irish teenager Nora Quoirin as her search enters a second week.

Her family reported her missing last Sunday from the Dusun eco-resort in southern Negeri Sembilan state.

On Saturday, her parents Meabh and Sebastien Quoirin thanked the emergency crews for their work "especially at a special festival time".

Over the last few days, officers have searched the jungle with a recording of Nora's mother saying "Nora darling, Nora I love you, mum is here" playing on loudspeaker.
