McCanns say life is 'unbearable'

The father of missing Madeleine McCann has described the events of the past week as an "unending nightmare".

In his internet blog, Gerry McCann said he and his wife Kate, of Rothley, Leics, faced an "unbearable" situation.

Portuguese police have played down reports that DNA evidence with a 100% match to Madeleine was found in her parents' hire car.

The public prosecutor has received case files from police after Madeleine's parents were declared formal suspects.

In his blog, Mr McCann said he and his wife had absolute confidence that when all the facts were presented they would be able to show that "we played no part in Madeleine's abduction".

The couple, both 39, were declared formal suspects last week.

The national director of the force handling the investigation said test results did not provide the same precision as had been reported.

Alipio Ribeiro, national director of the investigative Policia Judiciaria (PJ) told Portuguese state broadcaster RTP: "We can't say with certainty whether it was the blood of person A or person B.

"They help guide us in our investigation but not with the mathematical precision some people are saying."

Madeleine was reported missing from the McCanns' apartment in Praia da Luz, in the Algarve, on 3 May.

The case details are expected to be delivered on Tuesday and prosecutors will then decide whether to bring charges against the McCanns or ask for further evidence.
