"It is impossible for us to have any respect or faith in the Goan police as we have waited for over five years for them to do anything. To us, they look like a bunch of headless chickens, such disorder is unfathomable. The longer they take with their incompetence the further we get from finding out the truth," Maureen Sweeney, sister of Denyse Carol Sweeney, told PTI over email.
"...It is difficult for us to be hopeful as we have been told before that our case has gone to the CBI, the claim was merely a ploy to make us think someone was doing something when they were not," she claimed.
Maureen said, Indian and British Governments have shown that they care little for our loss and in fact with their lack of support show that they support the very people that continue to murder and thrive in Goa.
CBI took over probe into Denyse's death from Goa Police on the request of central Government which has forwarded the request of the state to carry out probe in case which was proving to be a complex riddle for it.
Denyse (35), while on a vacation in Goa had gone to Primrose nightclub at Vagator village and allegedly fell on the ground near the toilet, the local police had claimed in its FIR.
She was shifted to St Anthony's Hospital in Anjuna beach where she died on April 16, 2010 during treatment, it claimed.
The autopsy had claimed that she had died because of 'cerebral pulmonary oedema' (accumulation of fluid in brain and lungs) with multiple injuries on her body but could not determine the causes of the medical condition, the sources said.
