Kate McCann's Diary 'Is Leaked'



Portuguese newspapers are claiming to have seen Kate McCann's diary and have published what they say are extracts.

The notes talk about how all her energy is taken up by the children - especially Madeleine, who is very active.
The papers claim police saw the diary lying open in the villa the McCanns rented after Madeleine went missing.
They say there was no diary entry on May 3 when the four-year-old disappeared.
However, Sky News' crime correspondent
Martin Brunt is sceptical about the authenticity of the excerpts.
"There has been lots of speculation in the Portuguese press and the fact there are no direct quotes in the story makes me a little suspicious," he said.
The claims also include reports of British sniffer dogs detecting the scent of a corpse on a route that led from the Ocean Club to the church in Praia da Luz. The scent was also picked up on Mrs McCann's shirt and jeans and on the Cuddle Cat toy, it is alleged.
Sky News has learned that Portuguese officials are asking British police to seize crucial items of evidence from the McCanns' family home.


It is understood detectives already have Mrs McCann's private diary.
Brunt said they will examine the diary to probe her "state of mind" in the weeks following Madeleine's disappearance in the Algarve.
It is thought they may also take Gerry McCann's laptop and Cuddle Cat - Madeleine's favourite toy - which has become an iconic image of the case.
A judge in Portugal has signed a warrant which will instruct British officers to go to the couple's four-bedroom house in Rothley, Leicestershire.
Officers may go to the house today. The two 39-year-old doctors are spending the day there with their twins.
Mr McCann's sister, Philomena McCann, said the possibility that police might seize the toy was a "disgrace".
Family spokesman David Hughes could not confirm the report, but said he believed Cuddle Cat had already undergone forensic testing.


Mr McCann took the laptop with him when the family flew home from Portugal on Sunday, and has used it to write his regular blog on the Find Madeleine website.
But Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said detectives will be more interested in his private email correspondence.
Their family's spokeswoman Justine McGuinness explained why the McCanns have remained silent over the past days - in stark contrast to their earlier publicity campaign.
She said: "Kate and Gerry can't talk to people at the moment because of their status, and they are trying to observe Portuguese law."
But when they arrived back in the UK on Sunday they categorically denied they had anything to do with their daughter's disappearance.
This week, detectives passed their 4,000-page dossier of evidence against the couple to Algarve-based public prosecutor Jose Cunha de Magalhaes e Meneses.
He immediately ordered that the 10 files should go before a judge.
Meanwhile, the McCanns have announced they will not use money raised for the fund to find Madeleine to pay for their legal defence.
They are facing the prospect of being charged over their daughter's disappearance after police named them as "arguidos", or formal suspects, during questioning last Friday.
