Madeleine: Foreign press shows no mercy to Kate and Gerry McCann

Since Madeleine McCann vanished on May 3 the plight of her parents has rarely been off the front pages of Portugal's newspapers - and often reported in the cruellest terms.

Staring out, day after day, are the now iconic images of four-year-old Madeleine, smiling from under her sun hat, and her mother Kate's gaunt and strained face.

The McCanns wanted to keep their missing child in the public eye at all costs but one wonders if they had any idea how high the price would be.

MADDY: POLICE DRAFT IN LIP READERS

POLICE in Portugal tried to film Kate and Gerry McCann secretly in a bid to trap them.

But they bungled the recording, it was claimed yesterday.

A source close to the investigation said that when officers checked the tape they found the sound had been accidentally switched off.

They were forced to call in lip readers to try to discover what the McCanns were saying during unguarded moments at Portimao police headquarters.

The astonishing claim comes amid mounting concern over the Portuguese police handling of the investigation.

It is alleged officers were hoping to use the secretly-filmed material to strengthen their suspicion that the McCanns were involved in their daughter’s disappearance. The source said: “The cameras were set up in the interview suite at Portimao during the two days the McCanns were interrogated and made suspects.

“But when detectives went to examine the tapes afterwards, they realised that they hadn’t picked up any sound.

“It then got really farcical because they made an approach to lip readers to try to get the words to go with the visuals on the tape.”

Portuguese justice system experts said yesterday that the use of hidden cameras, which has not been confirmed by Portimao police, would not be surprising.

Kate and Gerry were convinced they were being bugged by police during their stay in Portugal following Madeleine’s disappearance. The case has provoked a huge row over the use and extent of telephone bugs in Portugal.

MADDIE: THE DEATH THREATS

GERRY and Kate McCann are having panic buttons installed at their home after the parents of missing Madeleine received a string of death threats.

They were given a police guard when they arrived home in Leicestershire, days after being quizzed by Portuguese detectives after being declared official suspects seven weeks ago.

But a family source has revealed the 24-hour protection has now been withdrawn and panic buttons linked directly to their local police station will be used instead.
