FRIENDS of Maddie
McCann’s parents refused to return to
Portugal
because they feared being made suspects as well.
All the "Tapas
Seven" pals of Kate and Gerry were asked by
Portuguese cops to take part in a
reconstruction.
But at least four
— Jane Tanner, Russell O’Brien and Rachael and
Matthew Oldfield — blocked the move, says
Portuguese paper 24 Horas.
Like the McCanns
— who are suspect "arguidos" — the two couples
also left their children alone last May 3 in
Praia da Luz.
A source claimed:
"They demanded they’d not be ‘arguidos’ but that
is impossible to guarantee." They could have
been accused of abandonment of a child and
jailed for ten years.
Sources claimed
the reconstruction was aimed at highlighting
statement "inconsistencies".
The McCanns’
spokesman insisted that the couples were
concerned about "the reason behind the
reconstruction". |
