DNA 'does not match missing Madeleine'

A DNA test on a drink bottle used by a young girl in Belgium did not match that of missing Madeleine McCann, it was claimed today.

A child therapist said she was “100% sure” she saw the young British girl at a restaurant in the Flemish town of Tongeren, not far from the Dutch border, on July 28.

But newspaper reports in Belgium and Holland quoted police sources as saying the drink bottle held no DNA traces linked to Madeleine.

A Belgian Police spokeswoman said she was not able to confirm the reports.
