Three detained over Scarlett Keeling murder... By Pamela Timms in Goa and Robyn Powell... Last Updated: 1:22pm GMT 09/03/2008 Indian police have detained three men in connection with the murder of Scarlett Keeling, 15, who was found dead on an Indian beach last month. Scarlett Keeling lived her with her mother and siblings in a smallholding in Devon The Indian men are likely to be formally arrested, police official Bosco George said. The owner of a café on Anjuna beach where Keeling was last seen partying, was reportedly among those detained. It is believed police are also searching for four more men in relation to the attack. An officer who did not want to be named said: "We have pinned them down because they are always loitering around in the beach belt and their conduct was suspicious. They became friendly to her during her three-month stay." A murder investigation was launched when a second post-mortem examination on the teenager, indicated she had been brutally assaulted. Police in Goa, where she had been on holiday with her family, had earlier said they thought she had drowned. Her mother, Fiona MacKeown, who has spent recent weeks campaigning for the death to be re-investigated, told The Sunday Telegraph: "I'm just relieved that we've achieved this first objective. "It's a strange feeling now, though, to come to terms with the fact that Scarlett was actually murdered. I know there's a huge procedure ahead of us to get the case solved. "The hardest thing for me now is to try and put faith in the police officers who looked me in the eye and lied about my daughter's death. "I'm now hoping to take Scarlett home and bury her on our land with a beautiful ceremony." Scarlett, who lived her with her mother and siblings in a smallholding in Devon, arrived in Goa back in November, embracing the island's party lifestyle. She was last seen alive at a bar called Lui's on Feb 18, where she was said to be in the company of several men. Her corpse was found on the beach only yards away, her shorts and underwear having been removed and her bra-top pushed up around her neck. The first post-mortem examination recorded only five bruises on her body. The second found 50, and injuries to her genital regions. "They [the police] have caused us a huge traumatic experience," said Mrs MacKeown. "They have behaved like criminals." telegraph.co.uk
