Neighbours say Murat friendly and helpful

NEIGHBOURS of a man questioned by Portuguese police looking for Madeleine McCann have described him as “friendly and helpful”.

Mr Murat’s Portuguese villa, which has been examined by forensic experts and sniffer dogs, is close to where four-year-old Madeleine was abducted.
