Panaji, Sep 4 (IANS) The Goa Children’s Court has denied the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) permission to put the two accused in the slain UK teenager Scarlett Keeling’s case through a lie detector test.
In his order Friday, GCC president B.P. Deshpande rejected the CBI’s request to put Placido Carvalho and Samson D’Souza through three tests - the psychological evaluation test including polygraph, brain signature profiling and a narco analysis.

A similar request made by the Anjuna police was rejected by the GCC last year.

The case was subsequently transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation after the role of the police was criticised by Scarlett’s mother Fiona Mackeown. A police sub-inspector was also suspended for sabotaging investigations into the 15-year-old’s murder in February last year.
