Suspect named in Madeleine McCann case is 'significant' development

One of the officers involved in the UK's first investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann says the latest development is "something significant" and hopes it will bring answers to the McCann family.

Jim Gamble said the Portuguese police must have a lot of evidence to make the German national, known as Christian B, an official suspect. He detailed some of the reasons why the convicted rapist has been made a suspect.

It is almost 15 years since Madeleine McCann disappeared from the town of Praia Da Luz in Portugal.
