| Nida Naseer inquest: Questions over missing teenager's death | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Questions still surround the death of a teenage girl who went missing after leaving her home barefoot in the middle of the winter, an inquest has heard. | |
| Nida Naseer, 18, vanished from her parent's house in Newport last December and her body was found in wetlands three months later. | |
| The Newport inquest heard it was "possible" the student may have fallen from a bridge into the River Usk. | |
| Coroner David Bowen recorded an open verdict. | |
| The hearing was told that with no confirmed sightings of her since she disappeared and a post mortem examination revealing no sign of injuries, questions still surround her death. | |
| 'Pure speculation' | |
| Mr Bowen said: "Police investigations failed to find any evidence as to when, how or in what manner Miss Naseer's body entered the river. | |
| "How this happened is pure speculation. | |
| "And this inquest is not concerned with speculation, it is concerned with the facts. | |
| "Miss Naseer's father described his daughter's disappearance as a mystery. | |
| "From the evidence that I have heard I am satisfied never such a description been more appropriate." | |
| The Coleg Gwent student's body was found at Newport Wetlands on 27 March this year, about four miles (6.5km) from her home. |
