The email demanded a ransom four days after Nora Quoirin vanished in Malaysia – the demand was for two Bitcoin worth around £4,200 and the email was claimed to be from Virginia, US

The family of tragic teen Nora Quoirin were sent a ransom email as they waited for news of their daughter who was missing in Malaysia.

The inquest which started two months ago has resumed after a witness came into contact with a Covid-19 patient.

Nora was reported missing hours after the family arrived in a eco-resort for a “trip of lifetime” on August 3.

The rainforest resort is about 40 miles south of Kuala Lumpur.

The teenager, who was born with a disorder which affects brain development, was found 10 days later, naked and near a river.

The police insist she died of internal bleeding and starvation after climbing out of a window of their rainforest villa.
