Scarlett trial: Fiona listed in second set of witnesses

SCARLETT

Panaji, Apr 2 (PTI) Two years after her daughter's death,
Scarlett Eden Keeling's mother Fiona Mackeown has been listed
in the second set of witnesses to testify in the murder case
when the trial begins on April 5.

The Central Bureau of Investigation has chargesheeted two
locals in this case, reported two years ago, and will present
the first set of ten witnesses comprising five policemen and
locals each.
"Fiona and Scarlett's Spanish friend Ruby Caso, who spent
time with her hours before her death, would testify before Goa
Children's Court in the second set of witnesses," CBI counsel
S Rivonkar told PTI Friday here in the western tourist state
of Goa.
The prosecution expects to get the verdict in this case
by this year end. Fiona is expected to be called to remain
present in the court to give witness while Ruby is likely to
appear through video-conferencing.
The deceased's boyfriend, Julio Lobo, will also be
examined, Rivonkar said.
Scarlett's bruised semi-nude body was found on Anjuna
shore on February 18, 2008, after which two locals – Samson
D'Souza and Placido Carvalho, were chargesheeted by the CBI.
CBI during the trial is expected to revisit the entire
case by presenting it before the judge through witnesses, in a
sequence manner, who saw Scarlett's body on the shore.
"We are sure that witnesses will not turn hostile and the
case will be prosecuted smoothly," Rivonkar said. (More) PTI
