The body of Scarlett Keeling, a British schoolgirl raped and murdered in Goa can finally be buried four years after her death. Devon coroner has now allowed the body to be released for a funeral. Scarletts mother, Fiona MacKeown, has blamed the communication blunder by Indian authorities and the Foreign Office for the four-year-delay. Scarlett was on an Indian holiday when the incident happened in February 2008. It was later revealed she had taken a cocktail of drugs. Months later, following two post-mortem tests in Goa, her body was brought back to Britain but has lain in a mortuary as the two men charged for her death is undergoing trial.
