In Memory of NurinJazlin


Here's one from the many articles on the case of Nurin:

Dad accepts DNA results
By LOONG MENG YEE

KUALA LUMPUR: Jazimin Abdul Jalil had twice denied his daughter at the mortuary. He had yearned for Nurin Jazlin to come home alive.

“How can I wish for my daughter to be dead? When I went to identify her twice, there was no DNA result given to me.

“My heart would not allow me to accept the girl lying there, battered to death, as my Nurin – not without proof,” said Jazimin at his sparse two-bedroom flat in Wangsa Maju yesterday evening after Nurin was laid to rest at the Taman Ibu Kota Muslim cemetery.

But in the face of overwhelming media reports that police had released the DNA result, Jazimin and several family members including eldest brother Jasni sought confirmation from the police about 10pm on Thursday.

At the Petaling Jaya district headquarter, the officers told Jazimin that the DNA test was 99.99% conclusive and the dental record that police obtained from Nurin’s school gave a convincing 95% match.

Even then, Jazimin called for a second DNA test.

Jasni who accompanied him to the police HQ related that Jazimin was silent during the drive home after midnight.

When they reached home, Jazimin who had always seemed strong throughout the period that his eight-year-old daughter had been missing, finally crumbled.

“Enough. Bring my daughter home. I do not want her to be cut up again,” Jazimin told the family.

For one whole month, the family – mother Norazian Bistamin, 35, and sisters Jazshira, nine, Jazrina, six and 18-month-old Jazlisa – had waited for “Kak Ngah” to turn up.

But not in the manner that she did on Monday – naked, tortured, and dead in a sports bag.

All she did was take a walk to the pasar malam near her home in Wangsa Maju on the night of Aug 20 to buy her favourite hair clips. Witnesses reported seeing a man dragging a screaming Nurin into a white van.

When Nurin was found on Monday morning in the bag left at a shoplot in PJS1/48, Petaling Utama, police called up Jazimin to view the body.

His conclusion then was a vehement “no”, that she wasn’t Nurin – a conviction he maintained on Thursday at the second viewing.

But the DNA result could not be denied, nor the reality that Nurin would not be coming home ever again.

“Nurin came to us perfect and she returned to Allah perfect.

“She looked cukup sempurna (perfect) today (Friday). Nurin has gone to heaven because she is innocent,” said Jazimin, 33, who drives a taxi for a living. The search for Nurin has ended, but there is no closure.

“We owe her justice. Find her killer and restore justice to my baby,” said Jazimin.

“These psychos who should be put away in jail. They should be thrown out of the country. They are uncivilised,” he said.

The family’s ordeal moved the nation, but there were some who only added to the family's pain.

Jasni said that hate mail was sent to the parents via SMS, blaming them for letting Nurin wander off to the night market on her own.

The 44-year-old company secretary explained that the family quarters in Wangsa Maju lacked space so that was why the children would venture outdoors.

“Please tell everyone, the family thank them for the tremendous support,” said Jasni.

“They lost Nurin, but painful as it is for them, they are comforted by the knowledge that others share their grief,” he said
