Top cop spearheads new probe into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann
|
PROBE: Det Chief Insp Colin Sutton |
BRITAIN'S top murder cop has been lined up to spearhead a new probe into
the disappearance of
Madeleine McCann, we can reveal.
Det Chief Insp
Colin Sutton, 49, who has been involved
in some of the UK's biggest inquiries - including the murder of
Milly Dowler and the terror
reign of the Nightstalker sex beast - is seen as the best man to handle
the challenging review.
Senior child protection officer
Jim Gamble has asked Scotland Yard to
take a fresh look at the three-year investigation.
He blasted
Portuguese cops for their handling of the hunt for Maddie -
who vanished aged three from her family's Algarve
holiday apartment
in 2007. Now the Met Police are set to review all leads in the case,
using technology and standards expected in a UK homicide or kidnap.
It will delight Maddie's parents,
Kate and Gerry McCann.
A senior police
source said: "They deserve reassurance that everything that can be done
has been done." |
