Madeleine McCann’s case is still far from dry. There is still a lack of decisive evidence against the main suspect Christian B. (43). Now, the key witness who brought Christian B. to the police speaks for the first time. He hopes that B. “will remain in jail for a long time.”
Through the statements of key witness Helge Busching (48), Maddie McCann’s case was reopened. He and Christian B. met in Praia da Luz, Portugal, where Maddeleine McCann was kidnapped in 2007.
He confessed to the kidnapping
Christian B. told him “in detail about his knowledge” of Maddie McCann’s disappearance, Busching told Britain’s “Sun”. He even confessed to kidnapping Maddie McCann.
But the key witness cannot say more. “I am not allowed to say anything about Christian B., but I hope he remains in prison,” says Busching. When asked if Christian B. had ever shown him photographs of Madeleine, he said: “Look, I can’t talk about any of these. Agree? I mustn’t. “In the end, however, Busching said something else:” One word. Guilty. “
The decisive evidence is still missing
Three months after the case was reopened, investigators are still searching for crucial evidence. “Based on the information we have, we assume that the girl was murdered by the defendant,” said Hans Christian Wolters of the Braunschweig prosecution service.
Christian B. is currently in prison in Kiel (D) for drug related offenses. Therefore, there is no time pressure for the prosecutor. “We assume that Christian B. will remain in custody for other crimes at least until early 2021,” says Wolters. However, his lawyer Johann Schwenn fights for his release. (hac)
