PANAJI, MAY 2 : Falling to get her murdered daughter Scarlett’s body organs, Fiona Mackeown has questioned the Forensic Department’s legal validity to remove them during autopsy.

“I do understand that for medico-forensic requirements a certain amount of tissue from various organs is an essential requisite by the forensic scientists to satisfactorily conclude on his testing,” said Fiona, who is in Goa to take up the issue. “To my mind the removal of entire organs from the body of my daughter is an action far in excess of the needs of the forensic scientist,” she said.

“I have failed to get the organs till now,” said Fiona, who has met Goa Chief Secretary J P Singh, Goa Medical College Dean V N Jindal and forensic experts.

Scarlett’s bruised body was found at Goa’s popular Anjuna beach on February 18. Two autopsies were conducted on her body in India while the inquest autopsy performed on her body by the coroner’s office in England had found several body parts to be missing.

According to Fiona, the full stomach, both the kidneys, the uterus, the spleen and the pancreas were missing. “These complete organs of my daughter’s body have been removed without my consent,” Fiona, who will leave for UK on Sunday, said. “Please inform me under what provision of Indian law has this action of removing the entire organs of my daughters body been taken,” she wrote in a letter to the chief secretary. “As a mother, I demand the organs of my daughter to be returned to me,” she said.
