-----Original Message----- From: Samir Kelekar Indian media ignores Goan's murder in Britian http://www.merinews.com/article/indian-media-ignores-goans-murder-in-britain /15762149.shtml
Check this out guys. ===================================================== RESPONSE: Hi Samir, We do realise that you are in a foreign bashing mode but take care: 1. The article claimed that the murder had been ignored by the Indian media - not by the British Press. 2. The article you cited was published in March 2009. Why bring it up now? 3. An uncle of the victim accepted the invitation of the UK police to witness the ongoing investigations. 4. Residents of the area where the murder was committed staged a protest march, candlelight vigil and raised money for the victim's family. 5. The British media reported the case extensively, the police investigated it thoroughly (including visiting Goa) and the guilty have been jailed. BTW. The victim's family wrote to me to indicate their appreciation of the efforts of the British authorities. Eddie Fernandes
