Scarlette e-mailed friend on rapists

In an e-mail to a friend, Scarlette Keeling, a 15-year-old British national who was murdered on Goa's Anjuna beach in February last year, wrote that she was raped by six men.

The Observer quoted police sources as saying that Keeling sent the email to a Spanish friend two days before her death. In the email, Keeling reportedly wrote: "Got a taxi back to Curlies and slept there, but the boys showed me some hardcore porn movies on a phone, then they all took it in turns trying 2 rape me."

Police say the alleged rapists could have killed Scarlette. They have not been arrested because the police are waiting to speak to Fiona MacKeown, Scarlette's mother.

The email also shows that Keeling went to a rave party, which was raided, and that she took drugs like LSD and ecstasy. She then returned to a beach bar just yards from where she was found dead later that week.

The newspaper said the "boys" referred to in the email were "six young Indian men who had gained the trust of Scarlett's mother Fiona MacKeown."
