Gerard de Souza

Gerard de Souza is a journalist based in Goa, with 15 years of experience in reporting on a wide range of issues, including politics, environment and crime. He also keenly follows criminal trials. His reporting on the death of a British teenager, Scarlett Keeling, and the subsequent trial of the alleged drug dealer and shack bartender—both accused of conspiring to murder her—has earned him accolades. When not writing and reporting, he is busy fishing for clams, hunting for the best cashew feni or tending to his mango orchard.
