Two months after teenager Scarlett Eden Keeling's bruised corpse was found at Anjuna beach, a British eye witness, who saw an alleged accused lying on the deceased, is struggling to get out of this place.Michael Mannion, 35, a British national, who is a crucial eye witness to Scarlett's death is feeling `stuck' in Goa after the state police refused to lift its look-out notice against him."I am not far away from being broke (financially). There is always a possibility of me taking money from my family but that does not look nice," Mannion, who had come to Goa at the invitation of Samson D'Souza, the bartender and the main accused in Scarlett's murder, stated.Scarlett was found dead on Goa's beach on February 18 and thereafter Mannion went into hiding only to return following the look-out notice issued against him."I had planned Goa visit from the savings which are getting exhausted. Back home, my father is sick and I have to look after him. Things are getting worse," Mannion, who is a carpenter by profession, said.Mannion's statement, which was recorded before the judicial authorities in Goa, attains significance as he is an eye witness who saw Samson lying on Scarlett. Also, he saw another accused Placido Carvalho sniffing cocaine along with Scarlett in the shack hours before her body was found on Anjuna shore.
