Sweeney, another British girl was found dead in a Vagator nightclub in April 2010; Agency cites lack of evidence as reason for closing probe; Case had been transferred to CBI in January this year
PANJIM: Just days after two persons were acquitted in the high-profile death case of British teenager Scarlett Keeling, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has submitted a closure report in yet another suspicious death of a British national it was investigating.
A Senior Officer of Special Crime Branch of Mumbai CBI said the closure report in the Denyse Sweeney death case was submitted to the JMFC Mapusa court on Monday due to lack of evidence to establish an offence.
On Friday, the Children’s Court had acquitted Samson D’Souza and Placido Carvalho in the Scarlett death case that was also investigated by CBI. The Sweeny death case had been transferred to CBI in January this year after it had initially been probed by Anjuna Police. In both cases the deceased were British nationals on vacation in Goa.
Denyse Carol Sweeney was found lying on floor near a toilet at Primerose Night Club at Vagator on April 16, 2010. After the death report from a private hospital, Anjuna police had registered a case of unnatural death.
The autopsy, conducted at the government-run hospital, had claimed that she had died due to ‘cerebral pulmonary oedema’ (accumulation of fluid in the brain and lungs) with multiple injuries on her body but could not determine the causes of the medical condition.
Police had initially cited drug overdose as the cause of death, but following protests from her sister and pressure from British authorities, had changed the course of probe to that of a murder.
Her sister who had begun campaigning suspecting foul play had conducted a second autopsy in Britain which had ruled out the presence of alcohol and drugs in the body.
Anjuna Police have been blamed for blind investigations and even delaying the process of sending the samples for forensic analysis. The preserved viscera were sent for analysis only 20 months after the offence had taken place.
Sweeny’s body was sent to her home in Derbyshire, after the autopsy in Goa. Sweeny is survived by a son and a daughter.
