The parents of Nora Quoirin, a schoolgirl whose body was found near a Malaysian jungle resort during a family holiday, have settled a case against Facebook. Lawyers for the social media giant, trading as Meta, read out an agreed statement in the High Court on Wednesday.
Sebastien and Maebh Quoirin, who were in court, had initiated proceedings against Facebook and retired solicitor Anne Brennan over posts made on Facebook in 2019 and 2020. Both proceedings were settled and Facebook has expressed its sympathies to the Quoirin family.
The 15-year-old schoolgirl was discovered dead nine days after she went missing from an eco-resort in Malaysia in August 2019. Her family believe she was abducted. Nora was born with holoprosencephaly – a disorder which affects brain development – and her family have said she would not have wandered off on her own.
