Mixed reactions to accusations against McCanns

THE McCanns arrived as a family of five in the Algarve, but yesterday almost four months to the day, they left as a family of just four.

They left without their eldest daughter Madeleine, who turned four just days after she mysteriously disappeared from the holiday apartment in Praia da Luz while her parents had dinner 90 metres away.

They also left behind the search for the child they still believe is alive as their status changed from victims to suspects in the Portuguese police investigations.
