After struggling for 11 years to get justice for her daughter — Scarlett Keeling — who was found murdered near a shack on Goa's Anjuna beach on February 18, 2008, 55-year-old Fiona McKeown will finally get to hear the verdict of High Court of Bombay at Goa in the case today. Speaking to mid-day from Devon, United Kingdom, where she works on three farms to earn a living, Fiona said, "My life has been hanging in the balance for the past 11 years. As the case has reached a high level in the judiciary system, I hope the judge acknowledges the evidence and takes the right decision."

Fiona further said, "It's been really hard all these years. Sometimes it even felt that it was impossible to get justice. The police and the ministers at that time didn't care about the case. I'm sure there are good cops in Goa but the ones who were in-charge of the case were not. They never investigated it properly, so it's hard to have faith in them. Yet I hope for a positive outcome."
