Scarlett Keeling's body is undergoing a third post mortem which has revealed her uterus, kidneys and stomach are missing.

Her mother Fiona MacKeown said that she did not give permission for the organs to be removed and is planning to return to India within the next two weeks to find out what has happened.

Scarlett was found on Anjuna beach, Goa on February 19. Police initially said the 15-year-old died from accidental drowning but after pressure from Mrs MacKeown a second autopsy was carried out which revealed she was raped and killed.

Mrs MacKeown's lawyer, Vikram Varma, said there is no reason for the organs to be taken and they should not be removed without written permission.

"I have spoken to Fiona who has told me the uterus, kidneys and stomach are missing," he said.

"I am waiting for an email from the coroner confirming in writing what is missing so I can then take it up with the Ministry of Health. There is no reason to take these organs, a doctor only takes a sample of an organ for tests. To remove the whole organ without written consent is not permissible."

Nerlon Albuquerque, the police officer who first investigated the case was dismissed on Friday.

Following the second post-mortem examination, detectives said Scarlett was given Ecstasy, cocaine and LSD on the night she died.

They have arrested two men, Samson D'Souza, 28, who was remanded in custody on suspicion of rape, and Placido Carvalho, aged between 30 and 35, who has appeared in court on suspicion of drugging Scarlett and assisting in the murder by that act.
