Madeleine McCann died in an accident in her family's Algarve holiday apartment and her death was covered up by her parents who then concocted a tale of kidnap, a Portuguese court was told.
Kate and Gerry McCann, both 41, were in court to hear how the detectives leading the investigation into their daughter’s disappearance believed they had lied to hide the truth.
“She died in the apartment as a result of a tragic accident and the parents simulated an abduction after failing to care of their children,” Tavares de Almeida, former chief inspector at Portimao police station during the initial months of the investigation, told the court in Lisbon.
“These were the conclusions of a police report signed by me on September 10 2007,” he added.
The allegations against Kate and Gerry McCann, both 41, were presented in court on the first day of a hearing to challenge the publication of a book written by Algarve detective Goncalo Amaral.
"Mr de Almeida also complained that Portuguese police efforts to investigate the McCanns had been frustrated by their British counterparts. “We were told that the UK would not accept any investigation of the McCanns – there was a lack of cooperation,” he said".
He said that the McCanns should have faced prosecution for leaving their children alone. “They should have been pursued for neglect. People have been arrested for far less – even in the UK.”
I think it is a shame that "Neither he [Goncalo Amaral] nor the McCanns will be called to give evidence in the hearing which is expected to last a minimum of three days".
I still want to hear the McCanns give evidence in court why they are the only parents in the world who thought it was safe to leave 3 children under 4 years of age unsupervised whilst they went out binge drinking with their friends? Also, to answer the question 'What child abduction?'. And, 'Why did you fake a break-in?'.
The McCanns have indicated that they will speak after Amaral. That is what was reported by Portuguese press yesterday!
