McCanns to get away with murder

By John Hirst

Apparently, Gerry and Kate McCann are not to be charged with any offences in relation to the disappearance of their 3 year old daughter Madeleine. From the outset it looked as if a charge of manslaughter rather than murder would have been brought. Perhaps, even a charge of child neglect and or child abandonment. However, it is now emerging that the McCanns are likely to walk free from any criminal charge. This being the case, it is a sad day for justice.

Police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are closing the case, Portuguese media has reported.

We tried to get you justice Madeleine and we have failed. The McCanns have outsmarted us.

Police could reopen the case if new evidence emerges, the papers said.
