Mumbai: The CBI was asked to investigate Scarlett Keeling's murder because the Goa police was allegedly not doing its job.
But the chargesheet that the CBI has filed in the teenager's murder gives far more breathing room to the two men suspected of killing the teenager. On Wednesday, the CBI said that bartender Samson D'Souza and Placido Carvalho did not rape Scarlett or kill her deliberately in February last year.
Instead, Samson and Carvalho have been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and using force to with the intent to outrage her modesty.
The two men were arrested by the Goa police for killing the school girl but were then released on bail. The CBI took over the case after Fiona's allegations that it was being mishandled by the local police.
