Scarlette case: Court rejects CBI plea

Special Correspondent

PANAJI: The Children’s Court for the State of Goa on Monday rejected an application filed in early July by the CBI to keep in abeyance the further proceedings and trial in the alleged rape and murder of British teenager Scarlette Keeling on a Goa beach on February 18.

The CBI plea was based on the argument that after the filing of the charge sheet by the Anjuna police station (in north Goa) against the two accused, Samson D’Souza and Placido Carvalho, on May 31 this year, the CBI had taken up further investigations. Inter alia stating that allowing the application of the CBI would delay the trial, the court pointed out that one of the accused was in custody and as of the date of the order “already almost 90 days have passed since the CBI took over the investigation.”
