Main suspect Christian B is currently on trial for unrelated sex crimes - three rapes and two sex assaults - which he denies.
A key witness who has given crucial evidence in the Madeleine McCann investigation is dying from cancer, a court has been told. It could set back investigators who have struggled for several years to find enough evidence to charge the main suspect, German drifter Christian B. He is currently on trial for unrelated sex crimes - three rapes and two sex assaults - which he denies.
Mr Tatschl was a striking figure in court, with tattoos, piercings and a blond Mohican haircut. The witness, 50, said he met the German drifter 20 years ago on Portugal's Algarve coast and shared an interest in vehicles, both driving camper vans at times. He said they were jailed in 2006 for stealing diesel fuel and spent time together in prison where Christian B told him about his lifestyle.
