Actions of Portuguese police crazy - McCann uncle

Kate McCann’s brother-in-law today labelled the latest moves by the Portuguese police as “crazy”.

John McCann said the idea that blood found in a hire car linked Mrs McCann to Madeleine’s death did not make sense.

He said: “It seems highly implausible that after all the searches for Madeleine that had gone on she could be secreted into a hire car. I don’t understand it, it makes no sense.”

He also said there was growing frustration with the Portuguese police’s methods and called for them to get their investigation back on track.

“There’s a degree of almost anger, it’s more frustration. We just want them to get on with the real focus,” he said.

“My wee niece is missing and it’s not Gerry and Kate that are involved in this.

“Let’s get back to the real reason. What’s happened to that?”
