Panaji: Shocked with the revelations made in the UK autopsy report that vital organs from British teenager Scarlett Keeling’s body are missing, the aggrieved mother has decided to return to India to pursue her fight for justice.
The forensic autopsy conducted by a doctor of the Coroners Court in Devon, UK, revealed that Scarlett’s kidneys, stomach and uterus were missing. Scarlett was found dead on Goa’s Anjuna beach on February 18. Two autopsies were conducted on the body in Goa, the second indicating that the case should be treated as homicide. “I have been informed that the stomach, both the kidneys and the uterus are missing. The doctors here have taken samples from Scarlett’s femur bone to determine how she died,’’ said her mother, Fiona MacKeown, over the telephone from Devon.
“I presume it will be at least a month before we are able to give Scarlett a decent burial. Therefore, I have decided to return to India within a week. I haven’t given up,” said Fiona. However, there is no mention of missing parts in the autopsy reports submitted by the doctors at Goa Medical College.
