Although her statement does not reflect a lot of these comments, knowing that some statements have been held from the public, it is also possible that some of the statements are not in full. (One example is that Goncalo Amaral claims the cleaner mentions about cleaning the shutters but that was not in her statement.) Although I realise we should not create myths from some of the comments in news articles, it is also possible that some have substance. http://msngroup.aimoo.com/madeleinemccann/newspapers.msnw-action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=30&LastModified=4675663768230840393.htm There, the statement of Pamela Fenn, the English citizen that lived in the apartment that was located above the one that was occupied by the McCanns, became fundamental again. On the day before the day that the child disappeared, the local resident heard Maddie's screams. The child cried and screamed for her father, while the[color=red] emotional lack of control from her mother was audible.

A key witness in the Madeleine McCann case yesterday DENIED telling cops that she heard the family screaming and arguing. Pamela Fenn, 81, who lives above the Praia da Luz apartment Madeleine vanished from, supposedly said she heard the four-year-old "scream for four hours" the night before. The reports fuelled police theories that mum Kate sedated Madeleine. But widow Mrs Fenn, interviewed by police two days after Madeleine disappeared, said: "I never heard her screaming or Kate and Gerry arguing. "I didn't realise anything was wrong until I heard all sorts of commotion outside."[/quote]
It is thought Mrs Fenn will make a formal statement to police at the headquarters in Portimao, not far from Praia da Luz. Her niece, who has not been named, has also given a statement to British police in which her description of the suspect matches that given to police by a friend of Gerry and Kate McCann who was dining with them on the night.[/quote]
[quote]Sept 12 07 Quoting police sources, the papers alleged that Mrs McCann became "visibly out of control" under questioning by police, and that witnesses had described her as "violent" and "aggressive" towards her children. It was claimed that she routinely put Madeleine and the two-year-old twins to bed in the family's holiday apartment "while Gerry played tennis and lay by the pool". The reports also quoted witnesses who have given statements to police.
Another witness is quoted as saying that Mrs McCann "seemed to have moments of aggressiveness towards her children" and that her husband, "though more absent, had more emotional control".

The new suspect, stocky and wearing two-tone glasses, was spotted by an Ocean Club worker just 12 metres from the flat. The employee, who did not want to be named, exclusively told the Mirror: "I'll never forget him. "It was around 6pm on the day the little girl went missing. I saw this Englishman standing under the stairwell. "He was round-faced and stocky, wearing light clothes and positioned so that he was monitoring the car park area, stairs and elevator. He was hiding and watching what was going on. I didn't see him at first. I was collecting some linen, bent down to pick it up and nearly bumped into him. We gave each other a big fright and both jumped back. We moved aside for each other. But he didn't move away." But he said a young officer seemed uninterested in what he had to say. Later, detectives arrived at his home and insisted he be re-interviewed. He was taken to the police HQ in Portimao and asked to go through photographs. It is believed he managed to identify the suspect. Speaking to the Mirror before his interview, he said: "They showed me lots of pictures and I pointed out the person I thought it was. I've been told not to say any more about it." Asked by the Mirror why he had not pressured police to take notice of his statement from the start, he said: "I was too scared." The worker said he discovered the suspect was British when he spotted him a few days later. Yesterday he refused to speak any further, stressing he had been warned not to talk about the investigation.[/quote] Kate McCann's diary 'tells of struggle to control Madeleine'By PAUL HARRIS and FIONA BARTON
Last updated at 17:39 14 September 2007 Kate McCann's diary reveals she struggled to cope with three 'hyperactive' children, it was claimed yesterday. The notebook, photocopied by Portuguese police, is said to show she found her role as a mother hard. Portuguese newspapers, which have published what they claim are extracts, say it is "fundamental" to the belief that she was involved in the death of her daughter Madeleine. The 39-year-old GP is reported to have written about how difficult it was to control Madeleine and her two-year-old brother and sister, and how her husband Gerry often left her to get on with family duties on her own.

Mrs McCann reportedly described Madeleine and the twins as hyperactive and "hysterical", and discloses that looking after them sapped her strength and emotions. The diary is being used as evidence by Portuguese police in their attempts to prove that Mrs McCann and her husband were involved in their daughter's death. Detectives applied for permission to make her diary part of their formal evidence as they show her state of mind before and after Madeleine vanished from the famleastily's Algarve holiday apartment on May 3. It was examined and copied by detectives last month, and detailed in papers sent to the public prosecutor on Tuesday. Sections purporting to be extracts from the diary were leaked to Portuguese newspapers yesterday - seen by the McCanns' supporters as part of a campaign by "police sources" to justify their case against the couple. The fact that at two newspapers published purported extracts makes a mockery of Portugal's so-called secrecy of justice laws, which are supposed to forbid police from disclosing elements of the inquiry. Yesterday, Mrs McCann's family dismissed the significance of any diary entries, saying she was just a normal mother. Philomena McCann, Gerry McCann's sister, said Kate had kept the diary to show to Madeleine when she was found. She said: "She's been writing down everything that we've been doing so we can prove to Madeleine that we have worked so hard to find her, that we've put our lives on hold to search for her and show our love for her is unending." Miss McCann questioned why the Portuguese authorities wanted the diary. She said: "God knows what they are expecting to find. And why didn't they ask for it before? It's just another way to stick the knife in." A family friend said it was "disgraceful" that any private and emotional thoughts should now be in the public domain - but insisted that the diary entries would "add nothing" to the case. The friend said: "Kate is kind and loving to her children and always has been. Any mother with three young children will recognise that it's a full-time job and it's not always easy." Portuguese tabloid Correio da Manha has hinted that detectives in Portugal are unsure whether Mrs McCann had started to write the diary before or after Madeleine disappeared. Yesterday the newspaper headlined its front page: "Kate insults her children in her diary." Scroll down for more... It claimed: "She complains frequently that her children are 'hysterical' and speaks of Madeleine as a child whose excess activity exhausts her. "She tells also how Gerry doesn't help her with the family chores and that she has to cope alone with her two youngest children." Publico, a respected daily newspaper, reported that the diary contained Mrs McCann's worries about her children's behaviour and her difficulties disciplining them. The diary is known to contain details relating to May 3 and the hours before Madeleine's disappearance, when the family played tennis and relaxed with their children beside the pool at their Praia da Luz holiday complex. Mrs McCann continued to make daily entries after Madeleine's disappearance. Despite the impression given in Portuguese newspapers, the Daily Mail understands that the entries are not exclusively about motherhood and children. It is believed to contain positive references to the family holiday, their journey from England, and Mrs McCann's thoughts about the resort of Praia da Luz. |
