.................................................. .

And we ALL KNOW how "competant" anything to do with Goan justice is

Lets hope a fully independant pathologist completes the PM....

Come on Kan-conned this is GoaCompetent?? I don't think they have even heard the word

Perhaps that little two letter word In may come into play ?

Other examples, Incorruptible, Incorrigible India ?

www.goanvoice.org.uk. The police have changed their minds again - flip flop do they get any training?

to muddy the waters further, the Herald (not the police!) went to Thivim station and queried the station staff who said no foreign girl caught a train at that time.

Yep and the beach shack waiters whom she was friends with done a runner after the 'incident' occured. Strange

"....From a list obtained from the Police Headquarters, Panjim, the last four years have witnessed the deaths of 219 foreigners. And, till date in 2009, already 26 foreigners have died. In four years (2004 - 2008), the Brits form the largest number of dead - 14, 13, 16, 20, 15 and, this year, 11 Brits have died already....

Are these suspicious deaths or does the number include those by natural causes?

Typical - publicity for British buyers of property in North Cyprus - I can't believe more Brits have 'purchased' in North Cyprus than have in Goa, yet the Cyprus buyers are getting a half hour TV programme on Friday May 22nd at 8pm & what are British buyers in Goa getting? yes, sweet F.A. - no change there then!

From the trailer on TV - the situation of the buyers in Cyprus sounds like it could be similar to Goa, except the government in North Cyprus are looking to demolish the properties rather than just confiscate them!

Think there is something on This Morning tomorrow about Property Purchase in Spain, and how people are left in the shite.

Only caught half of it.

Think the This Morning one is also about Cyprus - will watch just in case there is anything of interest to any of us on it.

Remy - didn't one of our BE friends get his money back in Goa, and say he was off to buy in North Cyprus?

The difference between Goa and North Cyprus is that anyone buying in North Cyprus should have been fully aware that Turkey had invaded and people had occupied property rightfully belonging to 'Greek Cypriots'. In Goa most people checked the legal position and followed the rules.

I imagine a fair percentage are natural causes including accidental drowning and traffic accident.

That still leaves a substantial amount with unidentified cause, most of which are written off as "natural", or "accidental" and case closed, saves police time, and no proper investigative procedure here, or forensics.
