Scarlett and family were threatened by foreigner, says Julio

PANJIM, JULY 28
In a new twist to British teenager Scarlett Eden Keeling death, her boyfriend Julio Lobo told the court that she and her family were threatened by a foreigner.
In the deposition before Goa Children’s court earlier this month, Lobo has said that a foreigner by name ‘Shanti’ from Anjuna was threatening Scarlett and her family, which forced them to shift their room to Arambol.
“To my knowledge Scarlett and her family left the house at Anjuna because of the said reason and shifted to Arambol,” Lobo said.
“Shanti had a grudge against him because he had friendship with Scarlett. On account of the said relationship, he had also once damaged my motorcycle,” he added.
Scarlett was found dead on Anjuna shore on February 18, 2008, when she was in Goa with her mother, Fiona Mackeown, her siblings and mother’s partner.
The court, last week had recorded the statement of the key witness, Murli Sagar, who recognised both the accused Samson D’Souza and Placido Carvalho.
Both the accused are arrested by police for drugging, raping and leaving Scarlett to die on the beach.
