The mother of murdered British teenager Scarlett Keeling is due to return to India on Saturday.

Fiona MacKeown wants to find out whether India's intelligence agency, the CBI, is going to take up her daughter's case.

The semi-naked body of Scarlett, 15, from Devon, was found on 19 February after she had been raped and murdered.

Earlier this month a third post-mortem examination revealed that some of her organs had been removed.

The post-mortem, conducted in Devon, found her uterus, kidneys and stomach were missing.

Cover-up claim

Ms MacKeown has previously criticised the Goan police's handling of the case.

India's top federal detective agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation, has been asked to take over the investigation to prove the Goan police have nothing to hide.

Ms MacKeown has alleged police officials have covered up evidence over her daughter's death to protect the tourism trade and drug dealers.

Scarlett had been staying at the resort with a friend while the rest of her family travelled further afield.

Initially, police said she had accidentally drowned but later opened a murder investigation under pressure from Ms MacKeown.

Police have arrested two men, Samson D'Souza, 28, who has been remanded in custody on suspicion of rape, and Placido Carvalho, who has appeared in court on suspicion of drugging Scarlett and assisting in the murder.
