A SNIFFER dog used in the search for missing Madeleine McCann
found a man buried in sand dunes in Orkney, a court heard yesterday.
FBI consultant Martin Grime told the High Court in Glasgow he and
his springer spaniels Eddie, Keela and Morse were called in by police in
the hunt for Bob Rose, who disappeared on the island of Sanday last
June.
Eddie, who is trained to detect dead bodies and was used in the
McCann case and the Soham murders inquiry, reacted when he was taken to
sand dunes at Sty Wick on June 24.
Mr Grime said: "His normal reaction is to bark. On this occasion
he started to dig."
The body of "Black Bob" Rose was later found at the spot.
The trial was also told one of the two men on trial for Bob's
murder, Stephen Crummack, had indicated the area to police days before.
Detective Constable Neil Docherty said Crummack, 51, went on to
blame his co-accused, John Campbell, 59, for killing Bob.
The pair deny murder and a string of related charges and the
trial continues. |
