Madeleine: Why Gerry and Kate McCann should be charged
Madeleine lay dead. Gerry and Kate McCann enter into a joint enterprise, a conspiracy, to dispose of Madeleine's body. They outwardly calmly go out and socialise with their friends for drinks, a meal and a quiz at the Tapas Bar at 8.30pm on 3rd of May 2007. To allay suspicion, they employ a smokescreen, that is, at 10pm Kate McCann goes to check on the children and returns to the Tapas Bar claiming that Madeleine has been abducted. The police are called and Gerry and Kate McCann make false statements in an attempt to explain away the disappearance of 3 year old Madeleine.
