The first person to be named an official suspect over Madeleine McCann's disappearance has broken his silence. Robert Murat, an "arguido" for five months, pleaded with Portuguese police to finally clear him of suspicion. But his brief admission in a television interview may land the British expat in trouble with the authorities. Police restrictions on the 33-year-old include a ban on press interviews.Mr Murat, who lives with his mother Jenny Murat less than 100 metres from the Ocean Club, Praia da Luz where Madeleine went missing, spoke only briefly. "It's five months, my savings have gone. Mum is doing what she can. It is just very, very difficult," he told BBC News.
