Nobody seems to have done it, but it seems plausible on paper.

Turtles are carnivorous, will eat anything they can snare as ambush predators - fish, tadpoles, frogs, other reptiles, baby ducks... so as soon as your Keelback slithers within reach of the turtle - snap, rip with the front claws to tear the snake apart, and it all over for the snake. Plausible on paper maybe, but not in practice...

Would relative sizes change your opinion at all? For example, a full grown Keelback and short-necked turtle with a carapace around 10cm.
When you first put (fast) fish in with turtles they chase them around for a few days and then seem to accept the fact that they can't catch them and peacefully coexist. Would the same principle be possible with a snake?

whether it takes a week or a month or a year, eventually the keelback would be missing parts of its tail.....
