Police chief under fire over ‘unfair’ focus on McCann case

BRITAIN’S top policeman faced accusations yesterday that the Madeleine McCann case was getting “unfair” and “special” attention at Scotland Yard.

Paul Stephenson denied claims that his decision to agree to review the investigation into the girl’s disappearance could come at the cost of other inquiries.

The commissioner, appearing before members of the Metropolitan Police Authority, said additional funds from the Home Office to support examinations could help save jobs in the force’s homicide division.
