Madeleine's mother returns to scene of abduction

Kate McCann today said she felt closer to her missing daughter Madeleine as she returned to Praia da Luz for the first time since she was named as a prime suspect by police investigating her little girl’s disappearance.

Mrs McCann, who was cleared of any suspicion last year, travelled back to the Portuguese town with her husband Gerry after a court case they were planning to attend in the capital Lisbon yesterday was unexpectedly delayed.
