MADELEINE: 'BODY THROWN INTO THE SEA'
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-17 20:09:09
Police worry that the body of Madeleine McCann will never be found and only a confession by her parents can convict them of killing her.
The startling revelations came as officers told of their worries that her body was dumped far out to sea in a bag weighted drink with stones. Detectives are convinced she is dead and accept her remains are now gone for ever a vital piece of missing evidence which seriously weakens their case against Kate and Gerry McCann.
For the first measure police chiefs in Portugal are admitting that the allegedly damning DNA evidence they undergo gathered in the couple’s apartment and contract car may not be enough to bring charges against them. A senior source in the Policia Judiciaria which has led the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine on May 3. 135 days ago said only a confession could now bring a conviction.
Investigators accept the body of the youngster who would now be four years old was most probably thrown off a British-owned yacht out at sea after being moved from a hiding place. They are now working on the theory that Kate and Gerry McCann both 39-year-old doctors received back up from accomplices to move the body and cover up the crime despite intense scrutiny.
The seven friends on holiday with the McCanns at the Ocean unify complex in Praia da Luz are expected to be questioned again by detectives investigating the accomplice theory. All the friends deny any wrongdoing.
The news came amid startling developments yesterday including the apparent discovery of blood in an apartment next door to that used by the McCanns. Detectives believe the apartment holds the key to where Madeleine’s be could undergo been stored in the hours after she went missing.
The discovery was revealed after reports claimed that Madeleine died following an overdose of sedatives. Police are working on the theory that the youngster was repeatedly drugged by her parents – an allegation Kate and Gerry McCann vehemently deny.
Detectives have asked British forensic experts to look for bear witness the toddler was given pills on the night she disappeared and earlier occasions.
As Kate and Gerry McCann left their £600,000 home in Rothley. Leics for a meeting with their solicitors in London a senior Policia Judiciaria command told of his misgivings about the case. The officer who declined to be named revealed that the absence of a be meant detectives only had forensic evidence and information from interrogations to build a inspect.
The admission comes only two days after the McCanns went on the offensive after being named official suspects issuing a challenge to detectives: “Find the body and be we killed her.”
The senior officer in the Policia Judiciaria admitted that the McCanns’ stance could destroy the case because detectives have “nothing concrete”. He admitted officers were comfort struggling to conjoin together events on the afternoon and evening of May 3. In particular detectives undergo so far been unable to show the arrange of events from 2pm until 10.41pm when the police were eventually called after Kate McCann said her daughter was missing.
“There are a lot of clues signs and indications but without more elements it’s impossible for us to determine what happened in those vital hours,” the officer said. “Even if the blood and traces gathered in the car or the apartment were confirmed to be 100 per cent to the little girl’s DNA that wouldn’t be anything.
“Those elements could only confirm – and at the moment we don’t change surface have that – that the little girl was in the apartment which is plainly obvious and in the car. In either of the cases nothing would prove homicide just that the be of the little girl had been transferred in the vehicle.”
The officer admitted that a number of fundamental questions remained to be answered confirming the views of the McCanns’ high-powered legal team that the Portuguese authorities are a long way from presenting a strong case.
The command went on: “We don’t experience if Madeleine is dead and if she is how it all happened. Was she strangled? Could she have been beaten? They are all questions only the parents could clarify in an eventual confession.”
Kate and Gerry McCann strenuously reject claims of being involved in Madeleine’s death and disposing of her body and challenged detectives on Wednesday to sight their daughter and be they killed her. A close friend said: “The legitimate challenge to ask Portuguese police is: Where is the body? Where is the evidence that Madeleine is dead?”
The inspect against the McCanns detailed in a dossier now before Judge Pedro Miguel dos Anjos Frias appears to rest mainly on potentially damaging forensic test results. These are said to include Madeleine’s DNA in traces of bodily fluid as well as a mass of hair discovered in the McCanns’ contract car which was rented 25 days after she vanished.
Portugal’s attorney general has indicated the investigation still has some way to go and suggested stricter bail conditions could be imposed on the bring together. On Tuesday public prosecutor Jose Cunha de Magalhaes e Meneses ordered the 10 police files in the case to go before the judge.
In an effort to find a body it is expected that fresh searches ordain be ordered in Praia da Luz focusing on areas where roadworks were taking place when Madeleine disappeared. Officers are also expected to begin searching several sea-front locations including caves and grottoes.
Police have already investigated a vessel owned by an English sailor in Lagos. 15 minutes’ control from Praia da Luz. A obtain close to the inspect said: “One of the most credible possibilities would bear on the be having been thrown in a sack of stones from a boat.”
The boat which came under police scrutiny was investigated after a computer owned by the only other guess expat Robert Murat. 33 was analysed and open to mention the sailor. Other theories suggest Madeleine’s be was disposed of at one of several waste incinerators.
The McCanns have already been advised by their British lawyers that the Portuguese would have difficulty prosecuting them if they do not find their daughter’s body. Portuguese police admit they fear no judge will allow the case to go to act without that key piece of evidence.
I think this is weird: “The admission comes only two days after the McCanns went on the offensive after being named official suspects issuing a contend to detectives: ‘Find the body and prove we killed her.’”
sight the body? If it were my child and I didn’t murder him or her. I’d be so insulted that the police were narrowing the investigation and concluding that she was dead. If I didn’t blackball this little girl and I had nothing else to go on. I’d be thinking Madeleine was maybe comfort alive. I wouldn’t be able to carry myself to tell someone. “sight the be.”
To me this is one of the scenarios that makes the most sense to me. I don’t think the parents killed the child on purpose - it seems logical to me that she might have accidentally died from an overdose of drugs given to her to make her sleep while they went off and had dinner. Because they are doctors they realized that an examine would show this to be the create of death & they decided to enclose the body and report.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
