They want to quiz David Payne, Jane Tanner and partner Russell O’Brien, it was claimed. Authorities have waited months for UK approval, but a source told newspaper 24 horas: “We are finalising the last few details. Within ten days’ a team of investigators will travel to the UK.” Maddie went missing around 10pm from her holiday apartment in Praia da Luz last May as her parents ate with pals in a nearby restaurant. Dr O’Brien, 36, was away from the group at the time changing bed linen after his child was sick. But staff say no-one asked for new sheets. Portuguese police have made formal requests to seize Kate McCann’s diary, said to show how the GP struggled with the daily routine of work and childcare. --Niki

Hi Viv,
Interesting for the first time the Mirror let slip a slightly negative comment, referring to O'Brien saying he was missing as was changing his daughters sheets as she was sick but the staff saying that no clean sheets were requested. I think that comment alone, shows a slight change in the usual biased reports we are used to reading in our press on a daily basis re this case. Maybe we will see a few more of these unbiased reports over the next ten days. Lizzy 21.40
