Madeleine Case: Who Is Bob Murat?
Updated: 20:36, Monday May 14, 2007

Robert Murat is a well known figure among journalists.
He worked as a translator for the local police and was on good terms with them. He told reporters he been in the McCann's apartment in the aftermath of the abduction, translating for the police.

Mr Murat, who is believed to have a four-year-old daughter in Norfolk, also worked as a fixer for Sky News for several days.

But among journalists he was regarded with suspicion.

A joke began spreading among the press pack that he was the "prime suspect".

And the joke spread to Mr Murat as well, with him introducing himself as the chief suspect, Sky's Ian Woods said in Portugal.

Woods took him aside and pressed him as to why he was so involved in the case.

"He told me he had an estranged wife and a daughter and he was upset because Madeleine reminded him of his daughter," Woods said.
