Details that shock and disgust were revealed today in court regarding the sexual crimes attributed to Christian Brückner, the prime suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
According to what was heard in the courtroom in Germany, the accused allegedly told one of his victims that he would decapitate her, whipped an elderly woman at least 20 times, and induced vomiting in a girl during his sexual abuse.
The 47-year-old convicted rapist is charged with three rapes and two sexual assaults said to have occurred on the Algarve coast of Portugal from 2000 to 2017.
The attacks took place just minutes away from where three-year-old Madeleine disappeared from the holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in May 2007, where she was staying with her parents, Kate and Gerry, and her siblings.
Since then, she has not been seen, and in June 2020, the German police named Brückner as the person responsible for her “abduction and murder,” but he has not yet been charged with anything related to her disappearance.
