Madeleine siblings ‘want to find and fight her snatcher’

KATE and Gerry McCann’s four-year-old twins have started saying they want to find and fight the person who took their missing sister, the couple said yesterday.

Sean and Amelie were just two when Madeleine vanished on a family holiday in Portugal in 2007. But their parents have discussed their missing big sister with them and they are now fiercely protective of her.

Mr McCann said: “They talk about her more than Kate and I talk about her, it’s incredible. Now they are saying, ‘She’s been taken, when we find who took her, we’ll fight them.’ That doesn’t come directly from us saying that.

“Amelie this week in particular was saying, ‘When I find that man I’m going to do this and that.’ I said, ‘No, what we will do is we will give them to the police and then we’ll put them in jail.’”

Ms McCann, who has not returned to her post as a GP since Madeleine disappeared, said looking for her daughter had become a full-time job.

The McCanns, both 41, from Rothley, Leicestershire, carried out a series of interviews with British and Portuguese journalists to publicise a new internet “viral” video aimed at someone close to the person responsible for the little girl’s disappearance.
