PANJIM: Canacona Police have closed the murder case of Swedish national Felix Dahl who died on January 28, 2015 at Patnem in Canacona.
Canacona Police Inspector Rajendra Prabhudesai said that the closure report has been submitted in the court of the JMFC, Canacona. He said the murder case has been closed as there is no evidence to prove murder.
According to Dahl’s family members, he was found dead in mysterious circumstances in Patnem and was murdered. His mother had been demanding that the death be registered as a murder but the Canacona Police had not taken that step. It is only after court’s direction that the Police registered it as murder.
Dahl’s family members have approached the High Court of Bombay at Goa pleading that the investigation be handed over to CBI.
Dahl’s mother, besides moving the court, has also sought the intervention of Finnish Foreign Minister Timo Soini, Prime Minister of India and Chief Minister of Goa to get justice for her son.
Dahl was holidaying in Goa since October 2014 and is said to have been last seen at a restaurant in Patnem, before his body was found by the roadside, a little away from the restaurant. A local who saw Dahl’s lifeless body informed the police.
