Mother of drowned UK girl in Goa alleges foul play 1 Mar 2008, 1120 hrs IST,PTI PANAJI: Mother of a 15-year-old British girl has sought a senior police officer's intervention to solve the mystery behind the death of her daughter in north Goa. Scarlette Eden Keeling was found dead on Anjuna shore on February 18 when her mother was visiting Gokarna in Karnataka. Scarlette was on a holiday here along with her mother and eight other siblings. "I am convinced by the information, I have been provided and evidence discovered, that there was foul play in the death of my daughter," reads a letter written by Fiona Mackeown, mother of the deceased girl, who hails from Davon in the UK. In her letter to Inspector General of Police, Mackeown has expressed shock over the media reports published after Scarlette's death. "The report in the media about the cause of death, which has been provided by the police officers of Anjuna police station are clearly premature and display a rashness of prejudgement unexpected of responsible police officers," the letter reads. Mackeown fears that such an act of prejudgement might prejudice even the doctors performing the autopsy (on the body of Scarlette). Senior police officials stated that they are going to look into the apprehensions expressed by Mackeown. "I have asked the SI to submit the chronology of the event. It was homicide or suicide is still under investigation," SP (north) Bosco George said. He said the police surgeon has certified her death as due to "drowning into beach sand water".
