Another young girl murdered in Goa. www.goanvoice.org.uk

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

we don't know she was murdered, she could have fallen off the train.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

I see what you are saying there are now two stories - very sad.

BUT this is Goa and either could be true.
Have the rains started yet?

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

no and it's too bloody hot and humid:frown:
i bought some snazzy wellies in the uk in preperation:D

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Do you really think that this was an accident?? I can't believe that you could be so naive to think that this was not murder. Living here has completely opened my eyes to the danger to the foreigners who live here. There are things that you cannot say publicly but please be aware that what you read in newspapers or see on the news is rarely true. To be frank...fallen off the train....my arse!!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Thanks for your very frank and honest opinion,has Goa got so bad?.We don't see the dangers only visiting for a few weeks at time and not months like you.
What we did notice though was there was certainly an increase of muggings the short time we were out there along our top road.There were two tourist mugged in a week.Of course when we commented on it we were told these are not Goans doing this,It is migrants?:thumbdown::thumbdown::unsure::unsure:

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Hi Goacrazy, we have seen at first hand, violence and intimidation, we so keep our head down now. I for one think the whole Goa thing has got very sinister and you have to keep a low profile to get along with everyone. We have some very good friends here but no one we would trust 100%. Never thought three years ago, I would be saying these things!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

It is such a shame to hear this,It makes me very sad.I was shocked to see at the local church over Easter a sign outside stating no tourists.So we have felt a little of what you have experienced,no violence as such but as I said we are only out there for short periods of time.
What as happened to the Goa we loved:(:(:(:(

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

what i said was we don't know if it was murder.
as a smoker i go out near the doors on trains for a ciggie and have seen quite a few near misses with people standing looking out and not holding on to anything.
the tracks are bad in places and the train lurches unexpectantly.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

www.goanvoice.org.uk - Love cheats in Goa!!
Any of you have any good stories for this lady. :cool:

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

seems from the reports so far that she travelled to the station alone.
the police can check the station records and the ticket inspectors records to check if she got on the train and where she was seated.
i think it's very likely she was on her own, did get on the train and went for a smoke when the train pulled out as you are not allowed to smoke on the platform.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

from yesterday/today's papers - the railway have said (on the basis of a LOT of experience) that people who fall from trains never fail under the same train (common sense really).
The post-mortem says body cut up by a train , but surely any competant forensic pathologist can tell whether the person was alive at the time?

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

but surely if she had been placed on the track before the train ran over her then the driver would have spotted her?
if she had been pushed as the train as it was going passed then some of the passengers would have seen it happen.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

We can speculate all we like. The wording in the press was "the dismembered body" and the definition of the word is-

1 : to cut off or disjoin the limbs, members, or parts of.
2 : to break up or tear into pieces.

Being run over by a train does not do this. It was also stated that it is impossible to be run over by the train you have fallen from.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

but they can check if she boarded the train...computer ticketing.
if she did board then she must have fallen or been pushed off.
