Madeleine's mother 'feels persecuted'

Kate McCann fears she is being “persecuted” by people who believe she is involved in her daughter Madeleine’s disappearance because she does not look maternal enough, her mother said today.

Susan Healy, the missing girl’s grandmother, acknowledged that Mrs McCann and her husband Gerry made a “terrible mistake” in leaving their three children alone in the family’s Portuguese holiday apartment.
