PRAIA DA LUZ (Reuters) - Portuguese police said on Tuesday they have identified a suspect in their investigation of the kidnapping of four-year-old Madeleine McCann
On Monday they searched a villa close to the complex from where she went missing more than a week ago and took away a British man, Robert Murat, for questioning.
"There is a suspect," a spokeswoman for the judicial police said but gave no further details.
It was not immediately clear whether the suspect had been arrested. In Portugal police can identify a suspect without arresting the person.
Murat often spoke to reporters in the days just after the disappearance of Madeleine, saying she looked like his daughter in England. His mother’s house, "Casa Liliana," is about 150 metres from the resort apartment where the McCann family was staying when their daughter disappeared.
Local television showed images of the house, which had a large green gate.
Police were seen leaving the house late on Monday after entering it early in the day. Police drained the swimming pool at the house, according to local media.
