"Police say it is the most damning evidence that has been returned by the tests," Sky's Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said.
Police spokesman Olegario de Sousa said it was "agreed with the
prosecutor" that the file would be handed over early today. A spokeswoman for the prosecutor in Lisbon said a statement would be issued later regarding the investigation. However Alipio Ribeiro, head of the investigative Policia Judiciaria (PJ), suggested the forensic tests had not been conclusive. He told Portuguese state broadcaster RTP: "We can't say with certainty whether it was the blood of person 'A' or person 'B'." The report is expected to include interviews with the McCanns and details of forensic evidence from various sites in the Praia da Luz resort where Madeleine vanished while on holiday. "The prosecutor will then have to decide whether he has enough evidence to charge the McCanns or whether the police need to carry out more inquiries or gather more evidence," De Sousa said. He would not discuss details of the evidence, in accordance with Portugal's secrecy laws in criminal investigations.I'm off to the local supermarket to buy some more salt.

It appears more deceptions, more smokescreens .... played by a malevolent hand
