Madeleine McCann's grandmother says the family's torment is like "being crucified" every day. (Sky News Monday 18th February 2008)Susan Healey pleaded with people to stop criticising her family, and launched a scathing attack on the Press.
She said: "It is almost like being crucified day to day. I read the most stupid things about Kate not crying enough, or whatever.If the Portuguese can't find out what happened to Madeleine we have to find out.There is no way Madeleine will fade into insignificance."
Mrs Healey, Mother of Kate, reiterated the family's fundamental need to know what happened to Madeleine in May last year when she vanished while on holiday in Praia da Luz.
"We will go on fighting for justice. It is a ridiculous situation. If they think we are going to sit by and not have this stupid arguido status lifted then we will fight to lift it. We want Madeleine back and we want to find out what happened to her. There is nothing in place to make sure this doesn't happen again," she said.
Describing the British Press as "beyond contempt", she thanked members of the public for their genuine support.
