| Accused Placido Carvalho and Samson D'Souza |
The CBI investigating the case were asked by the President of the Goa Children’s Court to file a reply to the application of the accused by 3rd September 2010. The diary which was recovered from Scarlet Keeling’s boyfriend Julio Lobo during the investigation is an important material evidence for the prosecution.
Fiona Mackeown had during her cross examination, identified the diary which contained several sketches drawn by her daughter. It was at this point it was pointed out by the defence lawyer, advocate Jose D’Souza about the missing pages of the diary. Fiona also said that she had no idea about the missing pages as the diary was not numbered in her presence. After a preliminary investigation by the Goa Police, the case was handed over to the CBI. Samson and Placido the two accused have been charged with the offence of drugging, raping and leaving her to die on the beach. One more key witness in the case, Murli sagar is yet to be cross examined and that is fixed for 17th September. The witness had deposed before the court a month ago. His cross examination was deferred after Fiona confirmed her dates of the visit to Goa.
It is a pity that the young girl had to die such a horrible death. Placido a family man involving himself is a real shame and the wife proudly going about with him hand in hand is another shame to them.
ReplyDeleteOne can make out by looking at their faces their character. Their faces betray the type of family they come from.
ReplyDeleteif the accused have money even judges can be bought, judiciary in India is for sale and the highest bidder gets it. These two accused have got money and they will definitely will be acquited, specially if the case lands in the court of Desmond D'Costa.
ReplyDeleteThere is no justtice left for any one in Goa. India now tops the list of corrupt countries in the world. Judges are no exceptions.
ReplyDeleteIt does not matter how strong are you BUT how strong are your pockets. And of course, how strong are your HANDS to lift the material from those pockets. In Goa, one should have a strong appetite to share the loot to the police and politicians and all your dirty work will be done. Shame on the state of affairs today with the law and order situation in Goa. Political affiliations, dirty money, drug dealers, paedophiles, crooks, fake currency suppliers are saluted whereas the AMM ADMI or the MANGO ADDMI is licking his hands.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a great injustice if the girl does not get justice. Though the mother of the girl is largely to be blamed, is no reason for mawalis like Placido & Samson to commit such a crime.
ReplyDeleteGoans are one of the most trusted people on earth. The mother coming to Goa regularly and knowing the Goan family, the girl was kept in good faith. Only to be dead by the hands of these of the vicious thugs. Justice must be served and a lengthy sentence be imposed among these criminals. But is Goan law for real?
ReplyDeleteWhat is it Goan people want from tourists? They are not protected by the Goan police who ignore and overlook their compliants. Is it revenge for being used by hippies or expectation of marriage a ticket to the west because of same faith? Even the priests and nuns are corrupt! One day if you go on raping and robbing them and endangering their lives western countires will cut out tourism to Goa and Kerala to protect it's citizans and you will be the looser.
ReplyDeleteDear Hannah,
ReplyDeleteWe the Goans love you all and no it is not any revenge but a bad influence of the present occupiers of Goa. As Europeans we were second to none. As Portuguese citizens we shared the same love and same principles as yours so do not think negatively about us and we still consider ourselves as Europeans. The only problem is that our so called freedom farters are the biggest ba....t....ds of all. Please Goans love you all Europeans

Hi Hannah:::Goa Police are extremely corrupt.They quite often invent crimes on or for Tourists so that they can get a few few dollars or Pounds or whatever else as bribes to be let off.They are well nown to plant drugs on innocent tourists and then subject them to blackmail and prison sentences.Vehicular and Traffic offences are another area that they (Police) misuse for personal benefit.
ReplyDeleteI am not so sure about nuns.However Preists in Goa today have become corrupt too.Many of them are into Land and Property deals in a very big way.This allows them to live life in utter luxury.This, as you know is against the Vows they take in Priesthood.Celibacy too is no longer practicsed as a vow.Instead they are prone to a lot of fornication,"Buggery" and paedophillia.Land belonging and donated by the Community is now being sold off to big land sharks & Realtors.
I will not be surprised if Goa loses its Tourist appeal in the near & distant future.It is slowly becoming a big slum with filth all over and excessive corruption by all the "P`s"....Politicians ,Priests ,Policemen,Police Inspectors,Panchayats , Property developers, Politicians Parasites (known as Crumbeaters or chamchas) and off course the Portuguese haters.
