| Drug overdose
and drowning caused Scarlette’s death: Goa Police
March 13th, 2008. Panaji,
Mar 13: Goa Police has claimed that British teenager Scarlette Keeling
died due to a drug overdose and drowning in beach water.
The cops, however, have
arrested another suspect, drug dealer Placido Carvalho in connection with
the murder late on Wednesday night. Goa Police also faced fresh embarrassment
when a doctor who conducted the first autopsy on Scarlette, claimed that
the police had ignored his findings.
Goa Police has been insisting
that Scarlette's death was accidental, but subsequently filed a murder
case after a second autopsy was conducted on her body.
Meanwhile, prime suspect
Samsung D'Souza, a 29-year-old bartender at a shack on Anjuna beach, has
confessed and revealed the names of four others who were involved in the
crime.
Placido Carvalho will
be produced in court today and it is expected that he will be taken into
police custody for further questioning.
Scarlette's mother, Fiona
McKeown, has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh saying that there
has been a cover up of the case.
