The mother is now at a secret location with police protection because of threats made to her for criticising the local police and exposing the local drug culture.
Still no mention of any support being offered to her by the British govt.
If her life is being threatened, and she is being protected by the same police she has exposd as liars, shouldn't the British Embassy staff be involved??? Whatever her lifestyle, Fiona McKeown is a British citizen, in danger abroad and entitled to assistance. |

Mother is now on her way home with Scarletts body. She has now got the support of a powerful Womens Group who report back directly to the Indian President so she is optimistic that her anxieties about the local police and govt officials on Goa will be investigated. However, the bar where Scarlett is alleged to have been fed with drugs and alcohol to the point where she was unable to defend herself no longer exists. The whole structure has disappeared, along with the staff so, in effect, there is no forensic evidence which can be gathered.  |

Just on Sky News, the Indian govt has authorised the equivalent of the Indian FBI to take over the investigation of this case. Looks like that womens group who reported back to the government are as powerful as they said they were. Good for them  |

| Agree JaGN this is good news. Seems no police agency could be as corrupt as those local Goan officials. |

I was just thinking about the Scarlett Keeling case in relation to how events are unfolding in the McCann and Matthews cases.
Fiona MacKeown was given a hard time by the media because of her lifestyle, a dropout living in a clapped out caravan etc etc. How ironic that it looks as though she is the only person who has single handedly battled against corruption and fought for justice for her daughter.
It looks as though the other two families used their child to make money. |

It was bound to happen....
From The Mail
quote:
Mother of Goa murder victim Scarlett Keeling turns to McCann's PR guru Clarence Mitchell in fight for justice
Last updated at 10:52am on 25th April 2008
Fiona MacKeown, whose 15-year-old daughter was drugged, raped and murdered on an Indian beach, is using the help of Kate and Gerry McCann's public relations guru in her fight for justice, it was revealed today.
Miss MacKeown, who returns to India today in pursuit of the truth over Scarlett Keeling's brutal slaying, is hoping spin doctor Clarence Mitchell can prevent negative publicity further hurting her tarnished reputation and put pressure on the Indian authourities to keep the investigation going.
