3. Scarlett Keeling Rape and Murder
The rape and murder case of a 15-year old British tourist hit the news for all the wrong reasons.
15 year old Scarlett Keeling visited India with her family in 2009. After visiting Goa, Scarlett was left behind there with one of her male friends while the rest of the family went on to travel along the coast.
While she did join her family later but requested to go back to Goa for a Valentine's beach party.
Scarlett's bruised, lifeless body was found swept-up on the sand the next morning after the party.
During the initial autopsy, it was revealed that Scarlett was raped before she was drowned to death. It also revealed that the girl had also consumed ecstasy, cocaine and LSD before her death.
While Scarlett's mother is still fighting for the justice for her daughter, her mother Fiona MacKeown has been constantly derided for her bohemian lifestyle, and being careless for her daughter by the entire Indian Society.
