Paedophile Roderick McDonald aka Roderick William Robinson arrested in Malta.

I wonder what age group interests him?

In the main article misty has put on the ages of some of his victims are mentioned as: five, seven and eight.

I wonder if there is any phone records connection between him and any of the PDL residents or tourists.

He also seems a little bit too old...

[sadie]

I notice that the newspaper report states his age now as 77, which means he cannot have been born in 1938 as per his "passport". (There is a lot to be said for having a copy of your fingerprint recorded on your passport record)
It seems SY have questioned him, so whether he is being held in custody until the extradition process can be completed or has to serve his 16 month sentence first remains to be seen.
I am of the opinion he has fleeced some big guns somewhere & has spent many years trying to avoid them - but his penchant for young girls gets the better of him
at times.

Yep, you are right.  He cannot be 77.  If he was born in 1938, he would be 76 or if born right at the end of the year 75.
[I used to teach Maths, only as a subsidiary subject, but my brain aint what it was.   Please correct me if I am wrong.]


Some questions:
Is the passport false ?
Does the passport belong to this man ?
Are we looking at an altogether different man hiding behind a false passport ?

[jassi]

As he  possible has nothing at all to do with this case, all this wondering might be quite irrelevant.

It might be irrelevant or it might not be.

Best to look at this scenario from all directions, dont you think?

Keep the options open, eh ?

[jassi]

I prefer to wait and see if SY consider him relevant, as they, after all  are the ones who have interviewed him.

I agree with that, but no harm done in a little sleuthing around the edges, is there?


We have noticed that his passport appears to be phoney, or it could be that the reporter cant do Maths?  Probably the later.
Some sleuths on here have noticed that it seems that Roderick Robinson is dead. 

So what is the harm in questioning if the man taken into custody is actually Roderick Robinson ?  Or could he be another man masquerading as RR ?



The fact that SY wanted to extradite this man, which is a dramatic move, makes this man especially interesting IMO
And there is something else .........

We have absolutely no verification from SY that they are interested in this man, whatever his name is, in the context of Madeleine's disappearance so please stop spreading disinformation sadie.

Of course we dont know for sure.

But go into "Newsnow Mccann", which I do several times a week and it is all there.

Seems some think it is to do with Madeleine



And I have other reasons to think it might have .........

So to be clear you have absolutely no verification from SY that they want to question this man in relation to Madeleine's disappearance. Am I correct ?

Convicted Aldershot paedophile questioned over Madeleine McCann disappearance

Roderick MacDonald, 77, originally from Aldershot has been questioned by British police investigating the 2007 disappearance of Madeleine McCann

Madeleine McCann went missing from the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz in May 2007 



A convicted paedophile from Aldershot has been quizzed by police over the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Roderick MacDonald, 77, was questioned by police in his prison cell as British officers try to uncover vital clues about who snatched Madeleine, aged three at the time of her disappearance, in 2007.

MacDonald, said to have been in the Algarve when she vanished, was questioned about his alleged connection to a child sex gang operating in Portugal and linked to her disappearance.

It is believed he was pressed on what he knew about a spate of burglaries which occurred in the Praia da Luz resort where Madeleine’s family were staying when she went missing.

British detectives think the burglaries – believed to be carried out by a lone intruder between 2004 and 2010 – could be the key to finally solving what happened to her.

The latest development comes as it was confirmed 11 people – four of whom are thought to be British – due to be quizzed over Madeleine’s disappearance next week will be asked to attend a police station as witnesses, not as suspects.

MacDonald was arrested in Malta in October having been subject of an international arrest warrant since 2012.

Scotland Yard said they would not give a “running commentary” on the investigation but their visit to MacDonald was confirmed by Maltese Government officials.

MacDonald was due to be extradited to the UK after he was remanded in custody in Malta.

But when detectives there searched his flat, in the quiet village of Sannat, they uncovered a stash of child pornography and sentenced him to 16 months in prison.

This forced Scotland Yard detectives to jet out to Malta in order to question him at the Corradino Correctional Facility outside the capital Valletta.

Mirror  Paedophile Roderick Macdonald was arrested in Malta in connection with Madeleine McCann's disappearance - he was living in a first floor flat on Triq Ta Cenc, Sannat, on the island of Gozo   


A close friend of MacDonald’s, who had no idea about his sordid past, said: “He was always talking about how he was in the Algarve when Madeleine went missing.

"He would brag about how he sailed a yacht into Praia da Luz but we never thought anything of it.

“We had no idea how evil this man was before he was arrested. Now it seems completely sinister. No wonder the police were so keen to quiz him.”

MacDonald, born Roderick William Robinson in Aldershot in July 1938, was first arrested in the Algarve in 2010 and extradited to Australia where he was wanted for the 1998 rape of an eight-year-old.

He got six months’ jail after accepting a plea deal for indecently assaulting the child then fled to Thailand after he was released.

After being deported to Britain by Thai authorities due to his history, MacDonald settled in Brighton, East Sussex.

Despite being put on the sex offenders’ register, he was convicted of molesting two girls, aged five and seven, on a boat at Sussex Yacht Club in 2012.

He fled abroad prior to his sentence and was handed a 12-month prison sentence suspended for two years in his absence.

When he was finally arrested in a dramatic swoop on his flat on the island of Gozo he is believed to have told detectives: “I should have spoken about all this years ago.”

MacDonald is the first person to be questioned in connection with Madeleine’s disappearance since July, when four men were quizzed as arguidos – persons of interest.

They all denied any involvement.

Perhaps you could give us a list of approved "sceptic" sources - how about Blacksmith for example, is he one?

[jassi]

As far as I'm concerned, the only worthwhile  sources are those that quote a named person. Even then, they may not be totally reliable, but are the best available.

Is it not fair to say though that even when named sources are quoted, their words are often interpreted to mean the complete opposite?  May I refer you to the quote in my signature line as a perfect example.
