Diplomats abandoned
me, says
Madeleine McCann
case suspect |

A suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has complained about being
“abandoned” by the British Government.
The lawyer for Robert Murat, who has British and Portuguese nationality,
claimed that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office ordered diplomats not to offer
assistance after he was seized by police.
Mr Murat, 34, is still seen by detectives as a key suspect in Madeleine’s
disappearance in Praia da Luz on May 3. He insists
that he was with his mother, Jenny, at their nearby villa.
The Foreign Office was reported to have told diplomats to avoid offering Mr
Murat consular assistance due to “the specific nature of the case” and because
they “were already helping Madeleine McCann’s parents”. It said yesterday that
in some circumstances it could offer only limited assistance to people with
dual nationalities.
Mr Murat’s mother, 71, has criticised the McCanns for leaving Madeleine in
their apartment while they dined with friends at a nearby restaurant. “The
worst part is they did something wrong [by leaving Madeleine alone], we did
nothing wrong and have been penalised for their mistake,” she said.
The Mayor of Praia da Luz added to the criticism
yesterday. Manuel Domingues Borba
accused the McCanns of “extreme negligence” and said they should never have
been allowed to return to Britain.
He told The Sun: “I would never leave my children in bed in a foreign country
and go off to dinner, especially seeing as there are babysitters for that very
purpose.” |
