Kate and Gerry McCann: Sorry
The Daily and Sunday Express have taken the unprecedented step of making a front-page apology to Kate and Gerry McCann.
We did so because we accept that a number of articles in the newspaper have suggested that the couple caused the death of their missing daughter Madeleine and then covered it up.[>
[>
We acknowledge that there is no evidence whatsoever to support this theory and that Kate and Gerry are completely innocent of any involvement in their daughter's disappearance.[>
[>
We trust that the suspicion that has clouded their lives for many months will soon be lifted. [>
[>
As an expression of its regret, the Daily Express has now paid a very substantial sum into the Madeleine Fund and we promise to do all in our power to help efforts to find her.[>
[>
Kate and Gerry, we are truly sorry to have added to your distress. [>
[>
We assure you that we hope Madeleine will one day be found alive and well and will be restored to her loving family. [>
