McCanns prepared for worst on holiday apartment blood test

MADELEINE McCann's parents were hoping for the best but fearing the worst last night as they awaited DNA test results that could support the detectives' theory that their daughter was killed.

Relations between Portuguese police and Kate and Gerry McCann came under strain after a senior officer went on television to reveal four-year-old Madeleine could be dead - without informing her family first.

A friend of the McCanns, from Rothley, Leicestershire, said it was "extraordinary" that police had "not had the decency" to contact the couple before the officer gave the interview.

It is understood the McCanns were particularly distressed that Chief Inspector Olegario Sousa chose to make his comments on Saturday, the 100th day since Madeleine went missing.

But a family spokeswoman also said it was "heartening" that the officer officially confirmed the McCanns were not considered suspects after a week of "hurtful" allegations in Portuguese papers that suggested they were under scrutiny.

British sniffer dogs discovered a second blood speck on a curtain in the McCanns' holiday apartment in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz, according to an unconfirmed report published in a Portuguese newspaper yesterday.

The sample has been sent, along with another trace of blood found in the flat, to a British laboratory to undergo DNA testing, the report added.

The test results, expected this week, could lend weight to the theory that Madeleine is dead - although they may boost her parents' belief she was abducted alive, or simply be inconclusive.

Mr McCann appeared to be considering the possibility that she was dead when he told BBC1's Heaven and Earth programme today if "the worst possible thing happens", he would be comforted by his faith that Madeleine was "in a better place".
