Witnesses claimed to have seen Robert Murat the night Maddie disappeared.

[Mr Gray]

getting back on track...does Roger Murat have an independent alibi for the evening

[pegasus]

Gerry and Kate spring immediately to mind

Which man in this case has the most honest body language of all in your opinion?

[pegasus]

Had RM not been drinking earlier in the day? Can you be sure he'd consumed no alcohol at home that evening?

Next you'll be claiming he was bottleman?

[Mr Gray]

It's a shame Dr Amaral was already an arguido in a similar case otherwise he could have brought him in...roughed him up a bit and got him to sing like a canary.......case solved...UK taxpayer 12  mill better off and Amaral could have enjoyed his retirement

[misty]

Next you'll be claiming he was bottleman?

Was he asked if he'd consumed any alcohol? You feel it was a factor in the cognitive skills of the Tapas 3.

You would have to ask medical professionals about whether a glass of wine or two has any affect on cognitive and motor skills or affects memory recall. You can read the statements of all 4 people present at the confrontation and work out which ones were drinking tea or coffee or whatever that night

WITNESS STATEMENT (3 of 3) OF ARGUIDO: ROBERT MURAT

Date: 2007/07/11; Time: 10:00; Location: DIC Portim�o
Officer: Paulo F., Inspector.

*snipped*

---- At 14:30 the present interview was restarted.
---- Questioned the defendant reaffirms that in truth on the afternoon of 03 May he arrived at Casa Liliana around 19:00/19:30 having left the VW stopped in front of the house, that is outside the property, immediately entering into the property. Questioned he does not remember the clothes he was wearing at the time. Nor does he remember if his mother was at home or not. Nor does he recall in detail what he did. He remembers that at one time he spoke with his mother, however he cannot recall whether she arrived meanwhile or she was already there. He remembers that they were sitting in the kitchen and the defendant remembering that he ate, how long with his mother he does not remember. Confronted with the testimony of his mother who told that she arrived at the house around 20.30 and that Robert had also arrived at that moment, he says that he cannot account

for having arrived at the same time as his mother.
---- Questioned he says that when he heard the sound of a siren he was with his mother in the kitchen, still talking, it would be about 22:00/22:30, the time he estimates taking into account that they had the television on. Questioned he said not to recall if the sound was continuous or discontinuous. He remembers only that at that time there was the sound of voices from both their talk and the sound of television, not recalling other sounds in the background. He remembers well having heard that sound given that after it he commented to his mother that it seemed that he was in her house in England given that there he assiduously heard the sound of sirens. He was not aware of other noises namely raised voices or the dogs barking outside the property.

No its nothing like Manuel Misty, it's an honest witness account.
But while we are visiting Fawlty Towers here's something Basilian
"Oh I can explain that Sybil I was in a rush and when I picked it up I thought it was a torch"

You've got me with the torch - was that in Communication Problems, with Mrs Richards?

[pegasus]

Well, one of them was on a laptop for best part of 2 hours....but that's a separate issue.

You've got me with the torch - was that in Communication Problems, with Mrs Richards?

If you mean typing the timeline on a laptop, that was on the 7th or 8th not the 3rd.
I made up the basil torch quote, it belongs on another thread anyway as its nothing to do with RM or the people who mistakenly identified him. ETA please post a little louder as I have my hearing aid turned down
