I am very grateful and the luckiest person I know…Off on another adventure,” read the Facebook post of a 28-year-old Irish woman before she travelled to Goa where she was found dead on Tuesday. The family of the woman was then informed by the Irish Embassy which had been alerted by the Foreigner Regional Registration Office. There have been multiple reports confirming that the Irish woman, who had been backpacking, visited a beach joint along with the accused at Palolem beach. In a 2014 report by National Crime Records Bureau on Crime Against Foreigners, Goa stood second when it came to crime against foreign tourists. In 2014 alone, out of the 384 cases reported for crime against foreign tourists, 66 cases took place in Goa.
