"I killed Madeleine McCann and I’m going to kill you"
A BRITISH woman stabbed repeatedly by a man in Portugal claims that he screamed: “I killed Madeleine McCann and I’m going to kill you.”
Last night I prayed for there to be a break in the Madeleine McCann investigation. Today, it appears there was one. It never surprises me when God answers my prayers, I've come to expect it. Oswald Chambers wrote that God always answers prayers of Christians if they are in His will.
Consequently, I'm asking again for you to pray for sexually abused children as in my 3:15 prayer above. Also, pray for an army of prayer warriors to join you. Pray for closure in this case and for peace and strength for Kate and Gerry McCann. Also, please pray for Meriam Ibrahim, and for the nearly 300 girls kidnapped in Nigeria.
Clara Corrigan is recovering from 17 wounds inflicted in the attack, which took place about 30 miles from Praia da Luz, where Madeleine disappeared.
Clara told her family from hospital: “When he made that threat I was absolutely terrified. I knew my life was in danger.”
Now Clara, 39, from Liverpool, has said she would be willing to talk to Scotland Yard detectives who have just overseen a huge search operation on wasteland in Praia da Luz which failed to find any trace of Madeleine.
The little girl disappeared from her family’s holiday apartment on May 3, 2007, days before her fourth birthday.
Clara told her father John: “I’m surprised the detectives have not come to see me because I could have important information.”
John said: “She was in a shocking state, terrible."
"She said she got really terrified when he said he had killed Madeleine McCann. She told the Portuguese police (what the man said) and she was expecting to hear from Scotland Yard but so far no one has contacted her.” That's probably because they didn't know. The Portuguese Police have done more to hamper this case than to solve it.
Scotland Yard would not say if they were aware of her claims. The man Clara says stabbed her is Briton Shane Leighton, who is being held in a prison on the Algarve. She was attacked in Albufeira on May 28 after she met trainee chef Leighton who was celebrating his 22nd birthday. That would make him 15 when Maddy disappeared.
Clara, a single mother of three, told Portuguese police that he invited her to his family home in the resort town where he was throwing a late-night birthday party. However, when she got to the terraced villa there was no party.
Clara, who fell asleep, said: “I woke up with him on top of me, suffocating me. Then he shouted ‘I killed Madeleine McCann and I am going to kill you’.”
She was stabbed up to 17 times on her buttocks and lower back.
As dawn broke Shane’s grandmother Sylvia Leighton, 76, who owns the house with her husband Barry, found Clara lying in a pool of blood. Clara fled and police found her in the street. Shane was held at a nearby bus stop with no shirt on and bloodstains on his body.
Clara was taken to hospital for emergency treatment for loss of blood and to have her wounds stitched. She has since returned to Liverpool.
Shane was brought up from the age of two by his grandparents and they took him with them when they retired to Portugal in 2003.
Sylvia told the Sunday Express that she thought that when Madeleine vanished Shane was staying in Worthing with his father.
“He would have been 15 at that time and there is no way he was involved in anything to do with Madeleine McCann,” she said, “He was just a schoolboy.”
Kate and Gerry McCann, of Rothley, Leicestershire, fly to Lisbon tomorrow to speak at a civil court in their long libel battle against former Portuguese detective Goncalo Amaral who wrote a book accusing the McCanns of accidentally killing Maddy then dumping her body somewhere. That there was virtually no evidence to support his claim got him removed from the case before writing the book. Interestingly, Amaral, himself, was a suspect in the disappearance of an 8 year old Portuguese girl in 2004.
