The men were accused of drugging and sexually abusing Scarlett Keeling, 15, after a party, leaving her to die in shallow sea water. Police originally said Keeling had drowned after taking drugs but changed their story after Keeling's mother complained, and a second autopsy concluded she had been raped and murdered. The court acquitted the two men of all the charges, the lawyer representing Keeling's mother, Fiona MacKeown, told reporters. Her death on popular Anjuna beach captured the attention of the Indian and British media and even inspired a Bollywood film. He said her body organs were not preserved properly and the police did not ask for tests soon enough, damaging crucial evidence.
