At first I must regret the loss of a young life and my condolences to her mother and family.
The fact of the matter remains that the girl died from drowning after an overdose of drugs and or alcohol. It is sad that someone so young should be using drugs and alcohol and what was a child doing alone in Goa under the "care" of a stranger? Her mother needs to answer a few questions.
It seems that her mother may have some vested interests in making a hullaballo of this sad incident for reasons of insurance , extended free stay in Goa at the cost of the British embassy and other issues.
The media has just gone overboard with all sorts of rumours and the Goa Police & Govt PR is lousy and non-existent to the least.
The second autopsy will clear things up and the mother and the media will end up a lot of egg on their faces. Hope the media learns its lessons
Goa is safe and secure for normal, sincere good tourists. Mess around with unwanted elements, drugs and other nefarious activities and the risk is theirs

True Indian,
Even drug addicts doing deserve to be raped and killed. You can't be sure that she just drowned with overdose of drug and alcohol.
I can't understand your argument mother is doing this to get extended stay in Goa. Would you not do the same thing is someone you love was harmed/killed this way.
I can understand the outrage Manali had in this thread.

i have known this mother and her young kids for quite a couple of years.this girl was very beautiful,though 15 she looked as grown as 24year old.i have a garment shop in panjim and this family frequented us,i have never seen her buying any sensible clothing.you lift ur skirt up and blame men of rape,wat work she had staying out at midnight ,drunk under-dressed. and mingling with boys,wasnt she n open invitation for all other elements.come to goa and see if you find any local goan girl out after 10pm on shacks. as of wat i feel of this incident the way her mother behaved with her daughter while shopping etc,there must have been a void in their relationship,her mother behaves and acts as if a drug dealer,may be she goes on such consignments to gokarn.there are many israelis like them in goa too.who are cheap back packers and firangis.no doubt there should be no mercy for the evil murderers but it should be an eye opener for other tourists to behave in a code of respect.men r no saints here.

What kind of heart you have?? Have you got a thing called ' heart'? A young lady died at an age of 15 and you bas..d are heaping on her all kinds of accusations like drug addict, no one to take care, vested interest of mother etc!! Shame on you calling yourself '' true Indian" Forget about being 'Indian' you are worse than a human being, an animal even.
Best of luck to your family... if they are humans.

Her mom actually feels the drug mafia is behind this, so in all probability the girl might have been associated with drugs....so, what True Indian says has weight, and Manali is simply making a big fuss of this...women...

You seem like a misogynist. Even if the girl was a drug addict or took drugs doesn't prove that she accidently drowned.

Manali, The meassge of True Indian is a bit strong. It is a great pity the life, especially of a forign tourist, was tragically lost, in a country which believes " Adhiti Devo Bhava". That does not give a right for you to abuse him, his family all at one go. We do not know the circumstances behind the death. It is indeed mysterious to all how a girl of 15 be left without adult supervision.If adult supervision was there, what is their story? We even do not know what ecatly the autopsy report says, as mostly if things like drugs, alcohol abuse is found in such cases, the government agencies are sensitive enough not to publish them. The issue is our ( i am including you, your family as a part of our, OK) government made up of mine and your relatives or brethren sucks! Infact from your comments, you have exposed your mental level!
