KOTA KINABALU: A student has handed over a plastic package containing the late Zara Qairina Mahathir’s notes, the Coroner's Court was told on Thursday (Jan 22). Recalled as the eighth witness, former head warden of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Tun Datu Mustapha, Azhari Abd Sagap, 31, said the student surrendered the package to dorm warden Syukriah Fauzi, who then passed it to him before he subsequently handed it to the police. Azhari said the student surrendered the package to Syukriah on the day Zara Qairina died. He added that he never met the student in person but had contacted her to ask when the items were given by Zara Qairina. He said the meeting also discussed matters relating to Zara Qairina, including images from two pages of her diary.
