Police make arrest after girl’s death in Goa
GOA – Indian detectives have arrested a man in connection with the murder of Scarlett Keeling, the 15-year-old English girl found dead last month on a beach in Goa.
The superintendent of police, Bosco George, said they had arrested ,a “shack boy” at Lui’s bar on Anjuna beach, the hippy centre of the state’s rave and drugs scene.
Police said Scarlett had been seen at Lui’s on the night she died and was seen leaving with one of the barmen in the early hours.
Locals found Scarlett’s half-naked body at about 6.30am on February 18 close to the bar.
The arrest follows the testimony of an unidentified witness, who claimed the alleged attacker was seen in “a compromising position” with the girl hours before her bruised body was found on the beach.
The UK Daily Telegraph reported that the arrest came 24 hours after a second post-mortem examination concluded the girl had been murdered.
The police had originally claimed she had drowned in the sea while drunk or on drugs, and that her body had only a few minor cuts and bruises.
But a second examination – carried out after Scarlett’s mother, found she had been murdered and revealed that her body had suffered 50 cuts and bruises.
