Tun Datu Mustapha acknowledged that the school carried out five internal investigations into the death of Zara Qairina Mahathir. However, these internal inquiry results were not reported to the police authorities.
The testimony highlighted a crucial gap in communication between the school’s internal processes and the official investigation handled by law enforcement.
"None of the findings from our five internal investigations were forwarded to the police," the discipline teacher stated during the proceedings.
This disclosure raises questions about transparency and procedural adherence concerning the handling of Zara Qairina’s death within the educational institution.
The testimony reveals a disconnect in the flow of information that potentially impacts the thoroughness and fairness of the external criminal investigation.
This information underlines the importance of clear protocols to ensure timely sharing of internal investigation results with appropriate authorities in sensitive cases.
