PORTUGUESE police tried to force a confession from Gerry McCann by confronting him with false DNA 'evidence', it was revealed last night. Detectives told the devastated father they had found incriminating DNA from his missing daughter Madeleine. They said it was in the family's holiday apartment and, crucially, the boot of their hire car, rented 25 days after the little girl vanished. British scientists had already warned the Portuguese that the forensic evidence was far from conclusive and the DNA could have come from almost anyone. Yet they still made Gerry and his wife Kate official suspects and staged gruelling interrogations last September. The police tactics were revealed as the mammoth, 20,000-page 'Madeleine File', detailing all aspects of the 14-month Portuguese investigation, was opened to the public. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
