PANAJI: After the arrest of two locals, barman Samson D'Souza and Placid Carvalho, who allegedly drugged and raped British teenager Scarlett Keeling before leaving her to die, Goa police have put her boyfriend Julio Lobo under the scanner.
Lobo, who has already been booked for 'grave sexual assault' was on Saturday taken for medical examination, police said.
"It is a part of the investigation. He is being examined to ascertain whether he is sexually active,'' said superintendent of police Bosco George.
The police, during their initial investigation, had questioned the 21-year-old, who had told that he had left Scarlett with another Spanish female friend on the eve of February 18, but did not round him as a suspect in the case.
Lobo became friendly with Scarlett a little while after she arrived in Goa with her mother in November last year.
The investigations have revealed that the 15-year-old, who was found dead on Anjuna beach on February 18, had left her mother and started living with Lobo in Siolim three weeks before her death.

After claiming to have cracked the case, the police are now prosecuting Lobo under the Goa Children's Act, 2003. Lobo is in the dock as Scarlett was a minor.
