Plot of land in Hanover dug up in search for Madeleine McCann

Police are digging up a plot of land near the former home of a key suspect in the disappearance and suspected murder of British girl Madeleine McCann.

Forensic officers, sniffer dogs and an excavator were seen at a garden on the outskirts of Hanover in northern Germany on Wednesday, about an hour's drive from where prime suspect Christian Brueckner once lived.



The suspect, who is in prison in Germany, spent many years in Portugal, including in Praia da Luz around the time of Madeleine's disappearance, and has two previous convictions for "sexual contact with girls", authorities said at the time.



Brueckner became a suspect after he allegedly told a drinking companion on the 10th anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance that he knew what had happened to the child.

Suspect in Madeleine McCann case ‘worked at resort’ where child vanished

London: The German paedophile suspected of abducting Madeleine McCann “repeatedly worked” at the holiday apartments in Portugal where the child vanished, documentary makers have revealed.

Christian Brueckner was said to have been employed by a company that carried out repairs at the Ocean Club, in Praia da Luz, shortly before the three-year-old British girl disappeared there in 2007.

An anonymous but “reliable” witness has told reporters at German TV channel SAT.1 that the convicted sex attacker “repeatedly carried out repair work” at the holiday apartments where Kate and Gerry McCann were staying with their children.

Brueckner, the 45-year-old sex offender, has also written letters in which he continues to insist he had no involvement in Madeleine’s abduction. He is in jail in his native Germany for raping a pensioner in 2005 in Praia da Luz. He was living nearby in a camper van when Madeleine disappeared in 2007.

I'm sure he has more credibility because he is a man

You should give that giant chip on your shoulder have a name.

I'm guessing the little winky smiley is added to give you the option of saying, "Don't be so uptight, I was only joking", if someone calls you out, right?
