Panaji, Aug 5 (PTI) A court here today issued notice to police following a complaint filed by a Goa-based NGO against Fiona Mackeown, mother of deceased British girl Scarlett Keeling for allegedly neglecting her daughter. The notice has been issued to Anjuna police inspector and also to the state and the matter will be heard on August 11.
Utt Goenkara, a Goa-based NGO, had filed complaint against Mackeown for not taking care of her daughter and demanding probe into her role in leaving Scarlett alone in the beach on the fateful day. Scarlett's bruised body was found floating at Anjuna beach on February 18 after which the state police arrested two locals for allegedly drugging, raping and murdering the teenager. The NGO has also demanded that Mackeown be made primary accused in the case leading to Scarlett's death. It had filed complaint with the Goa Children's Court under the Goa Children's Act, 2003. Aires Rodrigues, who has filed the complaint on behalf of the NGO, has asked the Children's Court to direct CBI to investigate her role in leaving her 15-year-old daughter in the company of a stranger.
