CONCLUSION - 19-09-2007


As a result of the interrogations contained on pages 2557/2560 and 2569/2576, the arguidos Kate and Gerald McCann were heard, whilst the former, in the exercise of one of her rights, opted not to make statements, her husband opted to speak.

Therefore, as regards to the arguido Kate, an eventual new interrogation would not be any advance given that her option was not to make statements, whilst in the case of the arguido Gerry a new interrogation would not be justified, at least not at the moment, taking into account that there are no new facts with which to confront him (same situation for Kate) therefore meaning that a new interrogation would not have any sense.

On the other hand, a change in the restraining orders applied to the arguidos (TIR) would suppose that the arguidos had abused the obligations imposed and other restraining orders foreseen in the CPP and admissible in the case (article 203 no. 1) together with the former article 204, could only be imposed by means of legal despatch if the following were verified: a) Fleeing or risk of fleeing, b) Risk of obstructing the course of the investigation or process instruction and namely the risk to acquiring, conserving or the veracity of evidence, or c) the risk given the nature of the circumstances of the crime or the arguidos personality, that the latter would continue criminal activity or seriously endanger public order and tranquillity.

From the elements brought to the process it can be stated unequivocally that the arguidos did not violate any of the obligations imposed upon them by the restraining orders that were applied, according to article 196 of the CPP and on the other hand, no grounds are found to apply any other restraining order: the arguidos live in the UK at the address they indicated, as they are currently in the UK no possibility of their interference with the production of evidence, or its acquisition, conservation or veracity can be seen and finally, taking into account their current place of residence, there is no risk for the disturbance of public order and tranquillity.

There are therefore, no reasons to alter their restraining orders.

Pages 2636/2639: it is the consideration of the Policia Judiciaria, namely taking into account our communication on page 1808, indicating that the computers that were apprehended from them, should be returned at the moment when they are no longer of interest to the investigation and as means of evidence.

Pages 2661, 2667/2668 and 2678 deny the requests for consultation of the process files due to judicial secrecy (article 86 no. 3 of the CPP).

In the development of the continuing investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, the investigation being open, whether to confirm or deny its occurrence in relation to the crimes of abduction, homicide, exposure to abandonment and hiding of the body and according to defined plan, it is necessary to document the real time of the disappearance in question, establish the location of each of the intervening parties - from the McCann couple to the group of friends who were on holiday with them in the Ocean Club tourist apartments in Praia da Luz : Jane Michelle Tanner, Russel James O'Brien, Matthew David Oldfield, Rachael Mampilly, David Anthony Payne, Fiona Elaine Payne and Diane Webster - the date of the facts and posterior moments, as well as to determine the movements of the arguidos Gerald McCann and Kate Healy during the period that they were staying in Portugal, whilst also establishing the connections between all of the group members and third parties.

In this sense and because the following diligences are essential in order to discover the truth, namely the analysis of telephone traffic of the McCann couple and their friends as well as other telephone numbers that were found to be related to the facts that occurred on the night of 3rd May 2007, the files are forwarded to Mmo JIC.

Given the fact that there are suspicions of the crimes of abduction, homicide, exposure or abandonment, hiding of the body, I propose, according to the terms laid down in articles 15 no. 2 of Law 88/89 of 11 September, 187 no.1, line a and 4 and 252 A and 269 no.1 of the CPP:

1. It is requested that the three national mobile operators (TMN, Vodaphone and Optimus) should send a DVD or CD with the complete listings of telephone traffic referring to the calls received and made during the period of time between 28th April 2007 to the 9th September 2007, including cellular location and trace back as well as roaming SMS and MMS and their respective content, of the following telephone numbers:

00447786986188 - Gerald McCann
00447903108397 - Kate Healy
00447748844837 - David Payne
00447796272586 - Fiona Payne
00447790327853 - Diane Webster
00447713258795 - Russel O'Brien
00447808534191 - Jane Tanner
000447771591456 - Matthew Oldfield
00447771591461 - Rachel Mampilly

00447818520047 - unidentified telephone number which on the night of 2nd May 2007 sent 14 written SMS messages to Gerald McCann and another 4 messages on the day following the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

2. 2. It is requested that the mobile operator TMN send a CD or DVD with the complete listings of telephone traffic referring to the calls received and made during the period of time between 20.00 on 3rd May 2007 and 12.00 on 4th May 2007,including cellular location and trace back as well as roaming SMS and MMS and their respective content, of the following telephone numbers:

969787045 - belonging to the Ocean Club reception in Praia da Luz

964098114 - belonging to the Ocean Club manager, Silvia Batista.

962093051 - belonging to the Lagos GNR post.

3. It is requested that the operator Portugal Telecom should send a DVD or CD with the complete listings of telephone traffic referring to the calls made and received during the period of time between 20.00 on 3rd May 2007 and 12.00 on 4th May 2007 for the following fixed lines:

282771000 - belonging to the Ocean Club reception.

282762809 - belonging to the Lagos GNR post.

In the meantime the existence of a laptop computer rented by Gerald McCann after the disappearance of Madeleine on 3rd May came to our knowledge, which was rented to him by Nuno Ferreira who voluntarily delivered the computer to us so that the appropriate examinations could be carried out.

I propose, according to the terms of article 189 of the CPP that the analysis of the hard disk of the laptop computer Sony, VAIO with series number 282479595001799 should be authorised.

The Public Prosecutor

CONCLUSION on 1-4-2008


In the letter of request sent to the United Kingdom relating to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann it was requested that the witnesses who were on holiday with Madeleine's parents would inform us about their availability to come to Portugal to do a reconstruction, the dates proposed being 28/29 April or 15/16 May (in order not to coincide with the date of the disappearance, nor with Madeleine's birthday), the appearance of the witnesses and the carrying out of the reconstruction also being dependent upon the arrival in Portugal of the arguidos, without whom there would be no sense in a reconstruction.

Therefore, notify the arguidos Gerald McCann and Kate Healy, by means of their lawyer Dr Rogerio Alves, to inform of their availability to come to Portugal on one of the dates mentioned above, with the aim of participating in the reconstruction, requesting a rapid response, bearing in mind that the questioning of the witnesses will begin on the 7th April and in order to be able to communicate this availability to the witnesses, as well as resolving all the questions, namely as regards logistics that would be necessary.

As required on page 3944, it was indicated to the PJ that the apprehended belongings be returned, unless they are of interest to the investigation or for matters of evidence.

As it has not been revealed to be of interest to the investigation, the computer made available by Nuno Ferreira (page 2670) should be returned.

Dear Stuart,

As previously agreed, here I send the answers to the questions raised by the holidaying group and Jeremy Wilkins regarding the re-enactment.
I also inform you, about the matter of Gerald McCann's credit cards intelligence, that the Prosecutor is not available to make any more changes to the LOR.

Letter from PJ (Paulo Rebelo) regarding details of proposed reconstruction (English)

Dear Stuart,

As agreed during our visit to Leicester last week, and in order to provide an answer to the questions raised by various witnesses in the investigation into the disappearance of the minor Madeleine McCann, regarding the possibility of carrying out a re-enactment on the site of the events, I shall inform you of the following:

1 - Regarding the arguido or formal suspect status of Gerald McCann and Kate McCann, it is not the PJ's competence to take the decision on the respective clearance. Thus, it is not possible to ensure the arguido status will be changed;

2 - There is no need for the witnesses to be accompanied by their children. For efficiency and celerity purposes, we indeed request that the children don't accompany their parents;

3 - The re-enactment, within the LOR, shall take place probably on May 15, 2008, between 5.30 p.m. and 11 p.m., thus covering the time period before dinner, dinner time and about an hour after having checked that the child had gone missing;

4 - A postponing of the re-enactment will only happen if the weather conditions are extremely bad, once the sites where most part of the events took place weren't exposed to such conditions. We also add the draft agenda to the proceedings, which we plan to be as follows:

- May 15 - In the morning - Arrival to Portugal of the participants in the proceedings;
- In the afternoon - The re-enactment
- May 16 - During the day - Preparation, by the PJ, of the records and documents of the proceedings which will be displayed, reviewed and signed by the participants;
- May 17 - In the morning or in the afternoon - Departure of the participants.

5 - The re-enactment will be carried out with the attendance of the nine holidaying friends, as well as, incidentally, any figurant considered to be necessary for a visualization of the events, i.e. a man carrying a child;

6 - The re-enactment site will be isolated, as much as possible, in order to preserve the security and the integrity of the proceedings. However, we can neither assure the evacuation of the population, nor guarantee the press won't interfere out of the security perimeter which will be established. Thus, we will do our best efforts to try and avoid picture taking by the press. However, we can not completely ensure that won't happen;

7 - The re-enactment will only turn out to be efficient if performed by the participants in the events, once the information provided by the same participants needs to be tested and efficiently compared on-site, and that can only be achieved by means of their own performances. Thus, the possibility of using actors has to be put aside;

8 - The request for the presence of witnesses was submitted through the LOR; the notification for the attendance of the arguidos falls under the competence of the Public Prosecutor's Office;

9 - If it is their wish, the witnesses can be assisted by the Foreign Office and, in the proceedings, also by a legal representative, subject to the consent of the Public Prosecutor's Office. Within the scope of the cooperation that has been taking place, the Leicestershire Police has already been invited to be present in the proceedings;

10 - If the conditions to make the re-enactments are achieved, the payments of participants' airfares and the stay costs will be subject of later evaluation;

11 - The PJ will be responsible for ensuring personal security for all the participants in the proceedings and will facilitate transfers from and to the airport, and from and to the proceedings. The PJ does not foresee any hostile environment or the occurrence of events able to put the participants' physical and psychological integrity at risk;

12 - The witnesses will be invited to participate in the re-enactment, but there are no suspicions over them regarding the commission of any criminal acts;

13 - The translation services of these inquiry proceedings will be provided by private officers of the PJ;

14 - The PJ considers this re-enactment to be highly important, and hopes the witnesses show their total cooperation, as they have been doing so far, towards finding out the truth.

We hope we have provided the answers to all the questions raised by the participants and, for logistics and case preparation purposes, we kindly request to be informed about the participants' respective answers until April 25, 2008.

Best regards,

Paulo Rebelo

Synopsis re statement of Michael Terre(n)nce WRIGHT 16th April 2008.

Michael's wife (Anne-Marie) is the cousin of Kate MCCANN but has known her since she was about 8 years old when she used to holiday on the Isle Of Man where he used to live. He has known Gerry since 1997 when he started to go out with Kate. They now generally meet up on key family events.
The families stayed together in each others homes in 2006 and February 2007 and were planning a family holiday in the UK in June 2007.

He received a phone call around 11pm on the 3rd May from his wife's mother informing him that Madeleine had been taken from her bed. Between 10am and 11am next(?) morning..(Note : quoted as 10am and 11am that morning in text) he again spoke with Kate who wanted her parents to join them in Portugal.
Michael went out to Portugal on the 5th May and initially stayed above Kate and Gerry on the Mark Warner Complex. He returned to the UK on the 11th May but made 5 further trips to Portugal ;
14th May-18th May
8th June-13th June : with his wife and they looked after the twins when Kate and Gerry went to Morocco.
12th July-13th July : he returned with Kate and the twins to attend the Christening of his own children while Gerry was already in the UK. The MCCANN'S returned to Portugal on the 15th July.
22nd August- 1st Sept to replace the CAMERON family. Here he assisted in arranging the return of Gerry and Kate (Note : to the UK (sic)) by booking a removal firm in Lagos in his name.
7th Sept-9th Sept : He helped clean up the Villa as the MCCANN'S with the CAMERONS and Eileen McCann returned home on the 9th September.
In August and September he stayed in Gerry and Kate's rented Villa.

Michael assisted with the running of the Madeleine Campaign and describes Gerry and Kate as distraught, and how they crumbled and sobbed when not out at official meetings or Media Conferences.

Michael was aware of the hire of the Renault Espace : he was collected from the airport by Kate on the 12th July in it and drove the vehicle regularly in August and September. He used the vehicle for shopping and to the rubbish/recycling area in Praia for the removal of gardening rubbish. He drove the twins to the beach and kiddies club and also for airport runs. Other times he would be a passenger when Gerry or Sandy Cameron would drive.

A number of refuse sites were used. Two areas on the Villa Estate, at the main entrance and at the top of the hill. A site on Cemetery Road, a site on a road above the Mark Warner Complex and a site between the Villa and the Church.
On a number of occasions he noticed an unpleasant smell in the vehicle that he put down to the twin's used nappies which had been discarded with the general waste. He was not aware of any spillages in the vehicle or anyone cleaning it.

Michael further stated that on the 6th May he purchased a large quantity of Pizza's from the Pizza Shack on the beach at Praia da Luz. The girl serving him was from Liverpool and after introductions she said her father "George" had seen a man carrying a child in the early hours of the 4th May in the resort. He is unaware if "George" has ever spoken to the Authorities.

To: The Coordinator of the Criminal Investigation Paulo Rebelo

From: Inspector Ricardo Paiva


Subject: Expedient for annexing to the process files


Following the request made by this police force to the British authorities of the Leicester police to contact the group of friends of the McCann couple as well as Jeremy Wilkins, in the sense of their being questioned about whether, with regard to the penal processional diligence which consists of the reconstruction of the events that occurred in Praia da Luz on the night of 3rd May 2007, they would be available to travel to Portugal, with the aim of participating in the reconstruction, several of the witnesses raised some questions about this subject, which were quickly responded to according to your indications.

In this context, in the exchange of electronic correspondence with the Leicester Police, emails were produced which are attached to this Service Information, duly translated into Portuguese, to be annexed to the process files.

I bring this to your knowledge.

Ricardo,
This is the first reply received from the friends of the McCann's.
It seems to be the same as when you were in the UK that Rachael and Matthew would be willing to attend if they are satisfied as to the purpose of the re-enactment but clearly do not feel the previous answers from Paulo cover their questions.
Could you please discuss the attached e-mail with Paulo, see if any further answers can be clarified and get back to me.
Thanks,

Subject : Re : Re-enactment questions

Dear Stuart,

Thank you for your e-mail and the attached response from the PJ.

We remain unconvinced that this reconstruction is necessary. Our most
significant question hasn't been answered, ie, how is it going to help find Madeleine/materially benefit the search for her ?

Point 14 of the PJ's response says that they consider this re-enactment "highly important". Why is that ? What are they really trying to get out of a reconstruction ?

Either they believe our version of the events of May 3rd 2007, or they don't. If they do, why the need for a reconstruction ? If they don't believe us, do they want a reconstruction so we can convince them otherwise ?

If the purpose of a reconstruction is to convince the Prosecutor to lift Kate and Gerry's arguido status then we would consider taking part in it. If it is to properly focus the investigation on the person seen carrying a child away from the apartment, again, we would consider taking part because that would help to find Madeleine.

We just need to be properly convinced of the reasons for doing a re-enactment.

We know you are the middle man in all this but we are sorry for more questions !
Please give either of us a call if you would like to talk through the above. Also if you feel this e-mail should be forwarded to the PJ please could you let us know.

Many thanks,
Kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
Rachael and Matthew Oldfield.

Subject : Re : Re-enactment questions

Dear Stuart,

We have deliberated an awful lot about whether we should participate in the re-enactment or not. It is not an easy decision as nothing about this case is straightforward.

We appreciated that paulo Rebelo attempted to answer many of our concerns however we are still left feeling very uncertain of the motives in organising a re-enactment. What information are they hoping to gain and how exactly is it going to help in moving the investigation on in a positive direction ? As you know, we feel we would be making ourselves and our families extremely vulnerable by returning to Portugal and would like to be persuaded that doing this would be wholly beneficial to the investigation....and FINDING MADELEINE. As yet we remain unconvinced.

We remain open to further discussion regarding this key issue.

Please feel free to call if you would like to discuss this in person.

Many kind regards,

Fiona and David Payne.

De: Paulo Fernando Gaspar Rebelo Enviada: terca-feira, 29 de Abril de 2008 12:39 Para: 'Prior Stuart' Assunto: Witnesses' Questions

Dear Stuart,

In Portugal, the criminal investigation is conducted by the Policia Judiciaria, under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor's Office. The competence to evaluate the interest and need for the performance of any criminal inquiry acts lies with these two entities, not with the witnesses.

In fact, according to Portuguese law (article 132, section 1, subsection a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure), whenever a witness summons is served, the witness is compelled to attend the authorities so that any action mentioned in the summons may take place.

Following the messages sent by the witnesses, I hereby inform you that both the PJ and the Public Prosecutor responsible for the investigation consider all the questions and doubts previously raised by the witnesses to have been properly answered.

Therefore, in this context and in a clear way, the witnesses shall inform, till tomorrow noon, if they will attend (or not attend) the re-enactment.

Thanks once again for your valuable cooperation.

Best regards Paulo Rebelo

Dear Stuart,

Thank you for the e-mail and your voice message yesterday evening. The tone of the reply from Portugal has changed and Matthew and I feel we need to take Legal Advice before making a commitment to return to Portugal.

In any event, it will now be impossible for us to make the 15th to 17th May.
We would be grateful if you could get other dates from the Portuguese when the reconstruction could take place.

We will speak to our Lawyer and come back to you in due course.

Please give me a call if you wish to discuss.

Kind regards,

Yours Sincerely,

Rachael and Matthew Oldfield

Dear Stuart,

In Portugal, the Criminal Investigation is conducted by the Policia Judiciaria, under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor's Office.
The competence to evaluate the interest and need for the performance of any Criminal Inquiry lies with these two entities, not with the witnesses.

In fact, according to Portuguese Law (article 132, Section 1, subsection a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure), whenever a Witness Summons is served, the witness is compelled to attend the Authorities so that any action mentioned in the Summons may take place.

Following the messages sent by the wittnesses', I hereby inform you that both the PJ and the Public Prosecutor responsible for the Investigation consider all the questions and doubts previously raised by the witnesses' to have been properly answered.

Therefore, in this context and in a clear way, could the witnesses' inform you, by noon tomorrow, if they will attend (or not attend) the re-enactment.

Thanks once again for your valuable cooperation,
Best regards

This is the reply from Fiona, David and Dianne.
It implies that after Legal Advice is sought then Fiona, David and Dianne may be prepared to take part.
They make it clear that they are not refusing to take part.

Dear Stuart,

Thank you for your e-mail. We did get your message on my phone also.

Having read the attached letter, there appears to be a shift in the nature and the tone of the request for the re-enactment from something informal and friendly to a formal summons. We do not understand the laws that are being quoted and thus feel it is essential to seek legal advice.

We want to make it absolutely clear that we are NOT refusing to take part in this re-enactment.

Kind regards

My position remains the same really. As you mentioned in your message last night if everyone else is on board and I am the only outstanding person saying no I would be more likely to reconsider.

Inspector Joao Carlos



To: The Coordinator of the Criminal Investigation

With regard to the express mention in the Letter of request sent to the UK authorities, which requests that various of the witnesses pronounce themselves as regards to their availability to travel to Portugal with the aim of participating in a reconstruction of the events, different positions about the subject from these witnesses were received by Leicester Police.

These positions, reached after various requests for clarification from the witnesses in question, are contained in the messages that precede this note.

I submit these for your consideration.

From The Public Prosecutor's Office
Portimao Circuit


Conclusion on 2-5-2008

The reconstruction of the events is an act foreseen in Portuguese Law (article no. 150 of the Penal Process Code, the transcription follows this communication and forms an integral part of it) consisting of the reproduction, as faithful as possible, of the conditions under which the events or supposed events took place and of its repetition.

The re-enactment has a very particular nature in the present process files as it aims to reconstruct events that occurred almost a year ago, aiming to achieve an approximation of the conditions that occurred and, on the other hand, not under estimating the inconvenience represented by the travelling of a group of citizens to Portugal, in spite of this representing a mark of solidarity amongst friends as well as a particularly painful and difficult situation amongst friends.

Although this is considered to be a very important diligence for the investigation, it will only take place if the witnesses indicated below are present, taking into account that the arguidos have already manifested their availability to participate in the reconstruction.

The objective is that all the participants (the arguidos Gerald McCann and Kate Healy, the witnesses who on 3rd May 2007 were dining in the Tapas Restaurant and would leave to check whether their children were sleeping in their respective apartments, as well as another witness who spoke to the aguido Gerald) repeat what they did that day, as faithfully as their memory allows them to, in order to check what was said in the statements in the process files, enabling conclusions to be made about how things took place at the scene and thereby make adjustments to enable the investigation evaluate the need for any additional procedure.

The reconstruction in which the persons referred to previously would participate, as well as incidentally any other protagonist whose presence may be necessary in order to visualise the events, would take place between 17.30 and 23.00 on the 15th, being the day destined for formalising all diligences, this being the date previously combined and of which all participants were informed, which is not susceptible to change given the circumstances of time and place in which this would occur.
The reconstruction would take place in the space of the Tapas restaurant, the apartments blocks where the events occurred and surrounding areas, done by the PJ with recourse to filming and with the collaboration of all police entities that the PJ summons for collaboration.

The notification of the arguidos Gerald and Kate will be done through their legal representatives and that of the witnesses, David Anthony Payne, Fiona Payne, Dianne Webster, Russel O' Brien, Jane Tanner, Matthew Oldfield, Rachel Mampilly and Jeremy Wilkins will be done through collaboration with the UK police upon request from the PJ, copy of this communication should be delivered regarding the reconstruction to each of the participants.

Please prepare accordingly.


Annex: transcription of article 150 of the CPP:


Of the Reconstruction of Events

Article 150

Presumptions and Proceedings

1. When it is necessary to determine if an event could have happened in a certain manner, it is admissible to proceed to its reconstruction. This consists of a reproduction, as faithful as possible, of the conditions in which the event was reported or supposedly occurred and of the repetition of the way in which this occurred.

2. The office that orders the reconstruction of events should have a succinct indication of its objective, the day, time and place in which the diligences would take place and the form of their effectiveness, eventually with recourse to audio-visual means. The same office can be designated as the evaluator for the execution of determined operations.

3. Publicity of the diligence should, as far as possible, be avoided.



Remitted to the process files and to Mmo JIC: as a result of communication dated 14-1-2008 (page 3835) the period for the inquiry began with the entry into force of the reform to the CPP, in other words on 15-9-2007, therefore this period is of 8 months as foreseen in article 276 no. 1 of the CPP, meanwhile the investigation continues with various other diligences, now with the compliance of the Letter of Request sent to the UK authorities and with the reconstruction that will take place this month, which renders unviable the presentation of the final archiving or accusation despatch. Lastly, but not less importantly the progress of the investigation inquiries demands that access to the process files be postponed for a period of 3 months, to be determined in the terms laid down in article 89 no. of the CPP.

To:
Excellency Public Ministry Magistrate
Portimao Public Ministry Services

Gerald Patrick McCann, arguido identified in the above mentioned process acts, has been today notified that the days 29 and 30 May 2008 were designated for the reconstruction of facts [translator note: events],

He requires to your Excellency the postponement of the said step [diligence], given the impossibility of his mandatory [representative] to attend on the designated days, since on 29th May he will be at the audience of the judgement (of an arguido subject to the obligation of remaining at his residence [in PT: T.I.R. - Termo de Identidade e Residencia]) of the process number 9872/06.4 TDLSB, which is happening at the 2nd Criminal Court of Oeiras District and, on the 30th May will be in the last session of the audience of the judgement of the process no. 1774/02.0 TAALM, which will happen at the 3rd Court of Criminal Competence of Almada's district, where the final allegations will take place. Adding that the above mentioned diligence, set for the 30th, was inclusively, subject of a postponement since it coincided with the date initially set for the reconstruction.

Therefore, given the impossibility of postponing the abovementioned audiences [trials] and due to the essentiality of the presence of the undersigned in the reconstruction of which he was now notified for the reconstruction of the facts and on the two above mentioned diligences [the trials], it is requested to your Excellency to start proceedings to set a new date for the making of the reconstruction. Thus, manifesting here the complete availability in the agenda for the days 5 and 6 of June and 19 and 20 of the same month.

Conclusion 12-05-2008

Request made by Gerald McCann presented at 22H26 on 9-5-2008 by fax:

The days 29 and 30 May 2008 designated for the reconstruction, already represent an alteration that it was necessary to make with regard to the dates originally foreseen because of taking into account the approximation to the conditions in which the events occurred.

The this is added the fact that the type of action necessary for the reconstruction involves complex logistics in order to find a balance between the various interests and factors in play, given that the site where the reconstruction would take place is a tourist resort with much presence, namely of foreigners on holiday, having all the inconvenience that this would bring.

It is therefore not viable to proceed to the new alteration, unfortunately because of the balance mentioned above not being able to count with the interests referred by your illustrious self on the arguido Gerry McCann, however, in the hope a solution is found.

The requested change of date is therefore refused.

Completed on 2nd May 2008.

=CLS=

The re-enactment of the fact is a procedure set forth in the Portuguese Law (Section 150 of the Portuguese Code of Criminal Procedure, which is below given as part of this order) and consists of re-enacting, as accurately as possible, the
situation where an event is said or is supposed to have occurred, and it also consists of repeating the way it has happened.

The re-enactment has, in this inquiry, a rather particular nature, taking into account that it aims at re-enacting facts occurred about a year ago, by means of a proximity to the situation in which they occurred, and also being aware of the
inconvenience that a trip to Portugal might represent to a group of British Citizens, although knowing that it represents a milestone of solidarity among friends and towards friends who find themselves in a particularly painful and difficult situation.

It shall also be noted that, although this procedure is considered to be very important to the investigation, it will only take place if all the below mentioned witnesses are present, considering that the arguidos (formal suspects) have already shown they are available to participate in the re-enactment.

The purpose is to gather all the participants - the arguidos Gerald McCann and Kate Healy, the witnesses who were having dinner at the Tapas Restaurant on 3rd May 2007, and who took turns to check on their children who were sleeping in the
respective apartments, as well as another witness who spoke with the arguido Gerald-, who will perform what they did on the abovementioned date, as accurately as they recall, so that what is in their written statements can be confirmed. This will allow conclusions to be drawn on how things happened on site, thus making adjustments that will allow the investigation to determine the need for any supplemental procedure.


Page 4304 (Page 2 of 3)

The re-enactment that shall have the participation of the abovementioned group of people, as well as of any character whose figurative presence might be necessary to the visualization of the events, shall take place on 15th May, between 5.30 p.m. and 11.00 p.m. On 16th May all the procedure shall be formalized, according to what had already been settled for this date and considering that all the participants meant to be present have already been informed accordingly. This cannot be subject to any change due to the time and place where the procedure shall take place.

The re-enactment will be performed at the space of the abovementioned Restaurant, Block of Apartments where the facts occurred on that date, and in the surrounding area, and it will be carried out by the Policia Judiciaria, with the respective video recording and with the cooperation of the Police Authorities required by the PJ.

The arguidos Gerald and Kate shall be notified through their Legal Representatives. The notification of the witnesses David Anthony Payne, Fiona Elaine Payne, Dianne Webster, Russell James O'Brien, Jane Michelle Tanner, Matthew David Oldfield, Rachael Mariamma Jean Manpilly and Jeremy Wilkins shall be made with the cooperation of the British Police, at Policia Judiciaria's request.

Each notified person shall receive a copy of this Order - concerning the re-enactment.
Proceed accordingly.
