Judge to summon Kate McCann back to Portugal for further questioning

Daily Mail Headline; says: ' Kate McCann could be reinterviewed on the orders of a judge as police struggle to gather enough evidence to charge her, it emerged last night. Investigating judge Pedro dos Anjos Frias is expected to order Madeleine's mother back to Portugal for a fresh grilling over the accusation that she accidentally killed the little girl and then mounted an elaborate cover-up with her husband Gerry.

Detectives failed to extract a confession from the couple in two days of heated confrontations in Portugal, and police fear their case may founder without one. If Mr Frias authorises police to conduct more interviews of the McCanns, they have said they are willing to return to the Algarve for further questioning.

This could happen within the next week or so.

Yesterday the couple spent almost seven hours in talks with their legal representatives in London, as relatives declared that they would sell their homes if necessary to fund the couple's legal fight.

The McCanns received a boost when a high-ranking police source in Portugal admitted: "We have nothing concrete."
