Mumbai: Slain British teenage girl Scarlett Eden Keeling's body was brought in
the city from Goa on Thursday evening, more than a month after she was found
dead on Anjuna Beach in the tourist state. The body will be taken to the United
Kingdom by early next week where her mother Fionna Mackeown plans to conduct a
third forensic examination. However, the undertaker Elroy Norona, appointed on
recommendation of the British Deputy High Commission, declined to reveal the
location where he will be keeping the body for the next three to four days
though reports said it has been taken to suburban Bandra's Bhabha Hospital.
Meanwhile, her lawyer Vikram Varma alleged the Goa-based undertaker, who has
been appointed to take the body to London, is not attending to Fionna's calls.
Briefing to media on Thursday Varma said, “I will be reaching Mumbai on
Sunday along with Fionna and will be addressing a press conference there.”
Goa authorities have conducted two forensic examinations on the girl's body. Two
locals barman Samson D'Souza and alleged drug dealer Placido Carvalho have been
arrested for allegedly drugging and raping the 17-year-old before leaving her to
die in the shallow waters on the beach. (PTI)
