Second man in court over Goa girl Goa girl 'drugged and assaulted'

A second man arrested over the death of British teenager Scarlett Keeling in Goa has appeared in court accused of involvement in her murder. British teenager Scarlett Keeling was drugged and sexually assaulted before she died, police in Goa, India, say.

He was remanded in custody for 14 days to give police more time to quiz him. Placido Carvalho was detained on Wednesday, two days after another man, Samson D'Souza, 28, was charged with raping Miss Keeling.

'Missing money'
In a separate development another British woman has accused police in Goa of covering up the death of her boyfriend.
Rosalind Sheherlis, from London, said she believed her partner Martin Neighbour was murdered in a dispute over card game winnings.
Mr Neighbour, 39, was found on 3 February on the beach at Arambol, about eight miles from Anjuna, where Miss Keeling died. He had been due to marry Ms Sheherlis on 8 March.
The official cause of his death was given as drowning, but Ms Sheherlis said cuts and bruises on Mr Neighbour's body, and the fact that some of his money was missing, suggests that he was attacked.
She claims local police pressured her into signing a coroner's report describing the death as "not homicide" and made numerous errors in the investigation.
