No I think hes daft...to suggest rolling off the sofa and dying after a couple of spoons of calpol...hed have to be.
if Maddie banged her head it would take quite a few hours for her to die......thats a fact
I’m amazed at how some people such as Kizzy are so arrogant to think they KNOW everything, when it’s clear they don’t at all. It’s like they just enjoy slating the McCanns’ for their own personal issues they have.
Amaral wasn’t a doctor, he was a policeman (a lousy one) and if he thinks Calpol can kill it shows hs stupidly and ignorance.
I know the McCanns’ took with them Calpol, which all responsible parents do in case it’s needed, and they also took Phenergan which is an antihistamine used for things such as itching, allergies, sickness etc.
About three months after Maddie was taken, Kate had forensics test hair samples of both the twins’ to test them for drugs. Those tests proved that neither twin had taken ANY drugs in the last six months. So why would Kate or Gerry give medication to Maddie and not the twins? Maddie wasn’t unwell, she was as bright as a button, so there would have been absolutely NO need to.
But let’s just suppose they HAD given Maddie a teaspoon of either drug, for whatever reason, and she suddenly stopped breathing. I know it didn’t happen, but just let’s suppose it did.
Gerry was a consultant cardiologist and Kate, prior to being a GP was an anaesthetist working in an IC Unit.
Does anyone seriously think they wouldn’t have immediately called an ambulance while giving Maddie heart massage and breathing down her mouth? They wouldn’t have been thinking “What will the police say?!” They’d have been focussed on getting Maddie breathing again, and once an ambulance arrived they’d tell them what had happened. Anyone can suffer an allergic reaction — that doesn’t make it murder!
Or let’s suppose when they left for the Tapas Bar at 8:30pm and they checked on all the children — who’d all been in bed asleep by 7PM — then for some inexplicable reason Maddie stopped breathing in that short time frame of half an hour before Gerry went back to check, the FIRST thing he’d have done was start heart massage & breathing, and would call an ambulance. And when that ambulance came he’d say “She’s just stopped breathing!”
And likewise with Kate when she went in to check.
And had Maddie somehow fallen on the floor and fractured her skull, again, they’d have said “She must have slipped out of bed and banged her head!”
The police wouldn’t have charged them with murder! They’d KNOW it was an accident.
And if people say “Ah, but they were at the Tapas Bar and only looked in their bedroom every half hour”, had they both stayed in that night sitting on the balcony or in the lounge, would they have peeped into the children’s bedroom every half hour? Who does that at home?
Had Maddie slipped and banged her head while half asleep, or suddenly stopped breathing in bed, they wouldn’t have discovered until the morning when they woke up.
So whichever angle you look at it, HAD Maddie slipped and banged her head, or stopped breathing, they not only had NO reason at all to hide her body and make up a wild fabricated story that she’d been taken, they’d either have done everything in their power to resuscitate her and called an ambulance, and if they knew it was too late it would have been put down to a tragic accident.
You know, accidents do happen, tragically.
And as for the really weird ones who say they WANTED to kill her, they could have taken her out swimming in the sea and drowned her.
The whole fabrication is utterly insane and vile in my opinion.
That poor couple have to live the rest of their lives without Maddie, and that pain will never go away. How must they feel if they read strangers — busybodies — discussing them, calling them terrible names, accusing them of all sorts of atrocities when they’re already loaded down with never-ending grief!
It’s shameful and disgusting. And how infuriating too, to have jumped-up nobodies prying into their private affairs, making cruel accusations, and coming out with vile, aggressive swipes when they’re usually (and I know who I’m referring to) uneducated dullards who seem to get delight in taunting them.
It’s utterly putrid!
And then! You get others who say they’d happily sit and have a drink with the evil convicted rapist/paedophile...my God, there’s some truly sick people on this planet.
