64 people will be called in total for the inquest over the next fortnight.

A local police chief has told a Malaysian inquest into the death of Nora Quoirin there was 'no indication' she was kidnapped.

The 15-year-old, who had special needs, went missing from the Dusan Rainforest property she was staying in with her family last August.

Her body was found two kilometres away after ten days of searching.

Malaysian Journalist Ushar Daniele says police chief Mohamad Mat Yusop took the stand earlier as the inquest opened.

''At the time of the incident he said that he didn't come across any issues in any suspicious manner'', she said.

''He believes that the disappearance was caused by the victim's own intention to exit the house.

''When he was asked to clarify his testimony further the police chief pointed out that he did not receive any sort of phone calls for ransom to suggest that Nora Anne was kidnapped or abducted when she went missing''.

Another who has already spoken was owner of the Dusan Rainforst resort where the 15-year-old went missing also gave testimony earlier.

Ushar Daniele says her comments focused on the window Nora's believed to have climbed out of.

''In her testimony she (the owner) said that they are aware that there are many houses surrounding the entire area within the resort'', she said.

''And they are all definitely fixed with latches, and if they were any noise made in each of these houses, you could definitely hear it''.

64 people will be called in total for the inquest over the next fortnight.
