  • MADELEINE MCCANN – INSISTE-SE NA MORTE DA CRIANÇA DE 4 ANOS, MAS MUITAS DÚVIDAS PERSISTEM





    Este caso interessa, cada vez mais, as pessoas que andam pela Internet.

    Actualmente o factor maior do interesse parce ser O FACTOR MISTÉRIO.
    Tudo tão misterioso.
    Em Portugal, muito maioritariamente, defende-se a ideia de que Madeleine foi morta.

    Uma questão chave para as polícias portuguesas é, se, realmente, como parece, Madeleine foi morta, DESCOBRIREM O PEQUENO CADÁVER.


    A seguir vão as posições dos jornais britânicos «Daily Mail», «The Guardian» e «Daily Telegraph»:




    « Large amount of Madeleine's hair 'found in boot of parents' hire car'

    Madeleine: DNA in the McCanns' hire care boot is said to be a full match
    Substantial quantities of Madeleine McCann's hair were found in the boot of her parents' hire car, it's been revealed.
    Investigators are convinced so much hair was found that her body must have been stored in the vehicle, which was hired more than three weeks after she disappeared.
    The dramatic new evidence adds further pressure on Kate and Gerry McCann, who may now face charges over the death of the missing four-year-old in days.
    But Gerry McCann has reiterated his insistence that they had "nothing" to do with the disappearance of their daughter, adding he Kate were "100 per cent confident" of each other's innocence - and would prove it to the world.
    Senior police leading the investigation in Portugal said detectives from the Algarve will travel to Britain later this week as the investigation intensifies.
    Sources today told the Evening Standard Newspaper: "Some of the samples of DNA were taken from hair which match Madeleine's DNA. There was so much hair it could not be from DNA transference but from the body being in the boot."
    The source said that DNA from bodily fluids also found in the boot of the Renault Scenic car, hired by Kate and Gerry McCann 25 days after her disappearance, was a "90 per cent match" rather than the 100 per cent being widely reported.
    The police source discounted the theory that the crucial DNA was of Madeleine's blood but insisted it was some bodily fluid.
    Police in Portugal are still awaiting full reports from the forensic science service in Birmingham and said that officers will go there in coming days to liaise with British police and scientists to ensure there is no misunderstanding over the test results.
    Another sample giving a partial match is also said to have been found in the vehicle which was hired several weeks after Madeleine's disappearance on 3 May.
    Although there was no official confirmation the police sources also alleged that the samples came directly from Madeleine's body and had not been passed on via her clothes or toys. The new reports follow yesterday's strong rebuttal of claims that test results sent to Portugal by forensics experts at Birmingham were flawed. »

    « McCanns defend innocence over Madeleine

    The father of the missing British girl Madeleine McCann said today the distress he and his wife had faced during the past week was "beyond description", as senior Portuguese police officers played down the importance of DNA tests on their rental car.
    Gerry McCann said he and his wife, Kate, had "absolute confidence" that the facts would demonstrate they played "no part in Madeleine's abduction".
    "The pain and turmoil we have experienced in this last week is totally beyond description. Kate and I are totally 100% confident in each other's innocence and our family and friends have rallied round unflinchingly to support us," Mr McCann wrote on his blog, findmadeleine.com.
    Last week, the couple were named by Portuguese police as formal suspects in the case of their four-year-old daughter, who disappeared from the family's holiday apartment in the Algarve on May 3.
    Part of the case is believed to centre on the results of DNA tests carried out by the Forensic Science Service in Birmingham on samples taken from the family's apartment and hire car.
    Unnamed Portuguese police sources said overnight that the results indicated Madeleine had been in the hire car after she was reported missing.
    However, Chief Inspector Olegario Sousa, the spokesman for the police investigation, denied the report to Portuguese journalists.
    Alipio Ribeiro, the national director of the investigative Policia Judiciaria, also suggested that the forensic tests had not been conclusive.
    "We can't say with certainty whether it was the blood of person 'A' or person 'B'," he told the Portuguese state broadcaster, RTP.
    "They help guide us in our investigation but not with the mathematical precision some people are saying."
    Police papers setting out the case against Mr and Mrs McCann are expected to be given to the local prosecutor today. Joao Cunha de Magalhaes will decide whether the police evidence is strong enough to bring charges against the couple.
    He has three main options: to bring charges, to rule that no action should be taken, or to send the papers back to the police requesting more evidence.
    In his blog, Mr McCann wrote that the couple could "never possibly have imagined being put in this unbearable situation".
    "Despite the anguish and extreme distress this has caused all of our family, long term no one will be able to doubt how intensely Kate and I have been scrutinised. We have absolute confidence that, when all of the facts are presented together, we will be able to demonstrate that we played absolutely no part in Madeleine's abduction.
    "Our primary concern has always been the search for Madeleine and this aspect, that our daughter is still missing, must remain a priority for the investigation."
    The couple, and their two-year-old twins, Sean and Amelie, returned to their home in Rothley, Leicestershire, on Sunday.
    "We have had very mixed emotions since coming back to our own home. It is very comforting to have such familiar surroundings and our own belongings and the twins have settled straight back in as if they have never been away," Mr McCann wrote. "We have had numerous visitors with friends and those in official capacities. We have appointed solicitors to advise us and assist our Portuguese lawyer in preparing our defence against any possible charges.
    "The sooner this is done the sooner we can concentrate fully on trying to find Madeleine, which is the most important thing through this
    unending nightmare." »

    « McCanns face charges as police present case

    By Caroline Gammell in Praia da Luz and Gordon Rayner
    Last Updated: 11:48pm BST 11/09/2007

    Police in Portugal are said to be confident that charges would soon be brought against Kate and Gerry McCann after a 1,000-page dossier of evidence was handed to a judge.
    • Q&A: The DNA evidence
    • 10 key elements that may decide McCanns' fate
    • McCanns may use £1m Madeleine fund for legal defence
    • Judge has 10 days to rule on the evidence
    Detectives believe they have enough material to justify charging one or both parents with the "accidental" killing of their four-year-old daughter Madeleine and presented their findings to a public prosecutor in Portimao.
    In the latest twist, the prosecutor almost immediately passed the file to an "instructional judge" to seek approval for any further action to be taken. This could include charges being brought, or may simply be a request for further searches or more interviews.
    Legal experts said the judge is likely to make his decision within 10 days.
    A source close to the inquiry said: "The police are confident they have shown the McCanns have a case to answer and they believe charges will now follow."
    The McCann family remained defiant, with Gerry's sister Philomena saying that if the couple are charged "it will give them the chance to clear their name".

    In other developments:
    • Police prepared to dig up recently-laid roads in the resort town of Praia da Luz to search for Madeleine's body.
    • A "substantial amount" of Madeleine's hair was said to have been found in the boot of the McCanns' hire car.
    • Sources claimed that forensic evidence pointed to Madeleine's body being hidden in the car's spare wheel well.
    • Gerry McCann said his and his wife's suffering was "beyond description".
    The public prosecutor, Jose Cunha de Magalhaes e Meneses, may already have decided if the McCanns have a case to answer.
    A Portuguese lawyer, Artur Rego, said the speed with which Mr Meneses had passed the 10-volume dossier to the judge made it unlikely that he had recommended charges at this stage.
    But, he said, the prosecutor may have prepared the case in advance and was waiting for the final papers before making his recommendations."
    It appears increasingly likely that any case is likely to hinge on forensic evidence allegedly found in a Renault Scenic hired by the McCanns 25 days after Madeleine's disappearance.
    It was claimed that a large quantity of Madeleine's hair was found under the boot liner, next to the spare wheel, leading police to believe that her body may have been hidden there.
    • 'Week has been an unending nightmare'
    • Friends convinced of couple's innocence
    • Confusion that surrounds the fateful hours
    The amount of hair was said to be sufficient to convince police that it could only have got there directly from Madeleine's body, rather than by "secondary transfer" from her clothes or Cuddle Cat toy.
    Bodily fluids said to have been found in the car showed signs of decomposition, it is alleged, leading police to believe that Madeleine is dead.
    There were also reports that toxicology tests on the samples in the car may have led to the suspicion that Madeleine was drugged and speculation that she may have been accidentally given an overdose of a sedative.
    As official suspects, the McCanns are prevented by Portuguese law from speaking out in their own defence but have dismissed as "ludicrous" the suggestion that they could be to blame for Madeleine's disappearance.
    Their supporters have pointed out that they had neither the motive nor the opportunity to kill Madeleine or hide her body. They say that the police hypothesis that they hid her body for 25 days before transporting it in the car under the noses of the world's media is plainly impossible.
    Portuguese police are understood to have eliminated as suspects every other driver who hired the Renault between May 3 and May 28, when the McCanns rented it from Budget.
    Writing on his internet blog on the Find Madeleine campaign's website, Gerry McCann said: "The pain and turmoil we have experienced in this last week is totally beyond description. Kate and I are totally 100 per cent confident in each other's innocence and our family and friends have rallied round unflinchingly to support us."
    Police in Praia da Luz said they had been put on standby to dig up roadworks filled in shortly after Madeleine went missing as part of a fresh search for a body.
    • Questions remain over 'blood traces'
    • Police blamed for catalogue of errors
    • Full coverage: The search for Madeleine McCann
    Several roads within a short walk of the McCanns' Ocean Club apartment had been dug up at the time of their holiday. When Madeleine vanished there was speculation that she could have wandered off and fallen into a hole, or that an abductor could have disposed of her body in the roadworks.
    The McCanns spent the day at home in Rothley, Leics, choosing not to attend a service at their local Catholic church in which prayers were said for Madeleine. »
