Portuguese detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann will visit Britain later today, Sky News has learned. They will travel to speak to police in Leicestershire - the county where the missing girl's parents live. Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt said a team of four will fly to Britain.
The team may include Portugal's second most senior policeman Paulo Rebelo, who is now leading the inquiry. There will also be two forensic officers and a representative from the country's national pathology institute.
As well as meeting officers from Leicestershire, they will also see forensic representatives from a Birmingham laboratory. The lab has been testing samples taken from the holiday apartment where Madeleine's family stayed and the car they hired.
The team may also re-interview friends of Gerry and Kate McCann who had dinner with the couple on the night Madeleine went missing. But it is thought less likely they will speak to the McCanns themselves, Brunt added. (Sky News)
