There’s still work to do on Maddie case – cops

DETECTIVES Investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann say they have “outstanding work” left on their £12m (R222m) inquiry and may apply for more Home Office funding.

Sources said officers want to “tie up loose ends” in the investigation before it is officially wound up in a few months.

In April, then-home secretary Theresa May granted the inquiry team £95 000 to keep the investigation going, with the cash expected to last until October. Yesterday Scotland Yard said it would talk to the Home Office about future funding. A spokesman said: “While there remains outstanding work on this case, the Metropolitan Police will remain in dialogue with the Home Office regarding the continuation of funding.”– Daily Mail
