London, May 5: Fiona MacKeown, whose teenaged daughter Scarlett Keeling was found murdered in Goa, has claimed that she knew the identity of a suspected killer in her daughter's case who is a "powerful person" with money.

"I was approached by many people who told me this man's name. It is common knowledge out there it seems. He is a powerful person with money. It would explain a lot – why police have tried to cover it up," Fiona, who returned in London on Sunday night after spending nine days in Goa, said.

People are saying that they have had enough of him and his group and they want something done about it. I don't think he will get away with it once the CBI take over because

they don't take instruction from anyone. Hopefully we will get to the truth," she added.

The Guardian reported on Monday that two men had been arrested in connection with Scarlett's death, who was found murdered on Goa's Anjana beach on February 18.

Samson D'Souza was remanded in custody on suspicion of rape and Placido Carvalho had appeared in court on suspicion of drugging the British teenager and assisting in the murder.

Fiona had complained of a cover-up after police initially said the teenager had accidentally drowned when her partially naked body was found on the beach.

An autopsy revealed Scarlett had been raped and murdered. It also showed that she had taken ecstasy, cocaine and LSD on the night she died.

Fiona claimed that the investigation into her daughter's death had been hampered by links between police, politicians and drug dealers, the newspaper reported.
