Update: The aunt of missing teenager Nóra Quoirin has revealed how the teen's parents are devastated at her disappearance in Malaysia.

Malaysian officials have said they "know better" and insist a missing Irish girl has not been abducted from her room, in direct conflict with the belief of her frantic family who insist she would not have wandered off from the nature resort.

More than 160 personnel are now said to be searching for Nora Quoirin, who has been missing since Sunday.
