Michael Anthony Mannion, also known as Mike Masala, says he saw Samson trying to undress Scarlett after she was drugged. He is a key witness in the case.
Almost three years after the murder of her daughter Scarlett Keeling in Goa, Fiona Mckeown appeared before a Goa court on Friday, to give her version of the events.
Who killed Scarlett? Two locals, Placido Carvalho and Samson D'Souza are accused of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and of selling drugs to a minor. Both have been controversially granted bail.
E-mails sent by British teenager Scarlett Keeling just three days before she was found dead are key evidence in the case. In an email Scarlett wrote to a Spanish friend saying she had been gang-raped by six men at Curly's Shack in Goa.
In this special edition of We the People, Barkha Dutt asks whether the Scarlett case has exposed an underbelly of Goa that will affect its standing among foreigners.
The Internet was not kind to Scarlett's mother Fiona, with bloggers and others asking why a mother would leave her teen daughter with a man she had just met? Fiona left Goa for a holiday to explore neighbouring regions with her other children.
Goa police initially dismissed the death of Scarlett as a death by drowning. Scarlett's mother and the local media fought back to establish that she had been murdered.
