LONDON: Scarlett Keeling, the 15-year-old British schoolgirl who was murdered in Goa, was living a hedonistic life of sex, drugs and alcohol in the days before her death, a leading tabloid reported on Sunday.
In her personal diary, found by police investigating her death and seen by the Mail, she revealed episodes of drug and alcohol abuse in Goa - and also at school in England.
In her final entry before leaving England in November she described a farewell party where she "got drunk stoned and was trippin' on mushies" (hallucinogenic mushrooms).
The entry confirmed that Scarlett - legally a minor - was having sex with her boyfriend in England, the Mail said.
She wrote: "I went two days without sex the other day, I started getting stressy."
The diary entries - mostly undated - are written in a schoolbook. Some of the entries were so rambling that they were perhaps written under the influence of drink or drugs.
But in her penultimate entry, Scarlett wrote: "I want to go home" and in a later writing she clearly felt she is facing a major decision in her life and, using a phrase that now seemed imbued with tragic irony, she concluded: "I wish something big would happen to make my decision final."
She signed some of them with her nickname, Skaz, and there are pages of childish drawings; a heart, two saxophones and unhappy cartoon faces, one of which has tears gushing from its eyes.
The final page showed a stick figure hanging from a gallows. Underneath is Julio Lobo's name, address and telephone number. The diary was discovered during a search of the cabinet she was sharing with tour guide Lobo in a village called Siolim.
