Een zijweggetje maar toch interessant. Wat achtergronden over Murat en z'n ex-vrouw Dawn in Norfolk:
SUSPECT'S MARRIAGE MYSTERY
FRIENDS of Robert Murat's ex-wife told last night how she suddenly walked out on him - but she would not say why. Dawn Chapman, 41, was devastated when her marriage collapsed a few months after they moved to Portugal.
They had hoped to start a new life with daughter, Sofia, now four, who neighbours last night said bears a startling resemblance to missing Madeleine McCann. A friend said: "One minute they seemed perfectly happy and were excited at their new life in Portugal, and the next, Dawn was home and the marriage was in tatters.
"It was obvious something had gone terribly wrong during their few months on the Algarve but she would not talk about what had happened. "She looked on the verge of a nervous breakdown when she got back. For a long time, she seemed to be in tears the whole time and she lost a lot of weight.
"The circumstances of the marriage break-up were something of a bombshell to her." Dawn, who also has a son David, 20, from an earlier marriage, refused to say why she walked out on kidnap suspect Murat, 33.
The friend added: "Something happened out there, she discovered something about him and things were never the same again." Dawn was escorted by police from her home in Hockering, Norfolk, to a safe house on Monday night.
She covered daughter Sofia with a blanket to hide her from the cameras. But neighbours remarked how similar the girl is to missing Madeleine, who turned four at the weekend. Geoffrey Livock, 71, who lives near Dawn, said: "At first glance, if you saw them walking down the street you would think they were twins.
"Their hair is about the same and their faces are similar. I didn't think anything about it when Madeleine went missing. It was only when all this came out that I realised they were so similar."
Last night, Dawn had not returned to the semi-detached home that she once shared with Murat, who now lives in a villa 150 yards from where Madeleine went missing 13 days ago in Praia da Luz.
But Murat's close friend Gareth Bailey told last night how the marriage foundered when Dawn failed to settle into a new life abroad in 2005.
He said: "She was unhappy in Portugal and became homesick. She is a Norfolk girl and her family are in Norfolk. "She only stayed with Rob for three or four months before she decided to come home. He had already got a life out there, so he stayed. At first, he kept flying back to the UK to spend time with Dawn and their daughter.
"He was going backwards and forwards between Portugal and here, often only staying a couple of days before going back there. In the end, their relationship just fizzled out."
Gareth, who worked with Murat for four years at Inchcape Autoparc used car dealership in Norwich, told how his friend adored his daughter.
In conversations with reporters during the search for Madeleine, Murat said he and his ex-wife were fighting a custody battle over Sofia. Meer op The Mirror

Weinig onwikkelingen tot zover, alleen Murat 'valt uiteen' geloof ik:
En een fundtraising:quote:Madeleine suspect defends himself
The life of the British suspect in the case of missing four-year-old Madeleine has "fallen apart", his cousin has told BBC News. Sally Eveleigh, speaking in the Algarve on behalf of Robert Murat, said he vehemently denied any involvement. Mr Murat, 33, who helped police with translation work, was questioned for 12 hours over the disappearance and his mother's villa was searched.
Ik verwacht eigenlijk elk moment dat het Engelse leger opstoomt richting Portugal, beetje cynisch van me maar ik heb nog nooit zo'n grote actie gezien vanwege een vermist kind. Maar als ik het geld had, hij is cardioloog en zij huisarts, én daardoor handige connecties, had ik het misschien (weet ik wel zeker) ook gedaan, no mistake about that.quote:Meanwhile, on Wednesday afternoon the fighting fund to help cover escalating costs in the search for Madeleine was launched at the Walkers Stadium in Leicester by her uncle John McCann. Speaking at the launch, Mr McCann said: "This fund will be a vehicle to help our family get our darling, wee niece back." It was also announced that any money raised not needed for the search for Madeleine would be used to help find missing children in the UK, Portugal and elsewhere. BBC
Madeleine police search flat just 400 yards from kidnap apartment
Detectives in Portugal have sealed off a flat just 400 yards from the holiday complex where Madeleine McCann was snatched 13 days ago. Seven detectives are working inside the third-floor flat, the home of a Russian man linked to suspect Robert Murat.
Another eight uniformed officers are standing guard in the street outside. Surgey Malinka, 22, a computer expert and associate of Murat, lives at the flat with his parents. A rear window at the flat has clear view of the church where the McCanns have been praying for their four-year-old daughter's safe return.
There have been unconfirmed reports in the Portuguese press that police are interested in speaking to a Russian living locally. The reports have never been confirmed by police and they have not confirmed that this flat or the man living there is linked to those reports. De rest op DailyMail
En op HLN: "Porno gevonden
Omdat de politie uiterst zwijgzaam is, wordt in de media veel gespeculeerd. De Jornal de Not’cias schreef dat de speurders in de computer verdacht pornografisch materiaal met beelden van gewelddadige seksscènes hadden aangetroffen. De krant Correio da Manh‹ was ter ore gekomen dat de politie naar een Rus speurt, die tot de kennissenkring van de verdachte behoort en reeds eerder een veroordeling had opgelopen wegens seksuele delicten."

Madeleine police swoop on home of Russian computer expert Wat quotes:
Police hunting Madeleine McCann have swooped on the home of a Russian computer expert who worked for suspect Robert Murat. Sergey Malinka, 22, was questioned as a witness in the investigation into the four-year-old's disappearance, a police source said.
In an evening of drama, officers sealed off the apartment just yards from the church in Praia da Luz where the McCanns have repeatedly prayed for their missing girl's safe return. The rapid developments came as it emerged police hunting Madeleine have discovered a 'secret chamber' at Mr Murat's house.
The concealed vault - nine metres long and 1.5metres high - is beneath the living room floor of Mr Murat's two-bedroom villa. The British architect who built Casa Liliana in 1993 alerted police to its existence after realising they were examining the house - which is just 80 yards from where Madeleine went missing.
Reporters rushed to the scene - 300 yards from the McCanns' holiday apartment - and astonishingly seemed to arrive there before police did. En dat gaat nog even door.
Geen idee of het een begin van 'iets' is...
HLN: Volgens de media zou het appartement de verblijfplaats zijn van een Rus, een vriend van de 33-jarige Brit, Robert Murat, die dinsdag in verdenking werd gesteld door de politie. De Rus zou Sergej Malinka zijn, een informaticus van rond de dertig, die de website van het immobiliënagentschap van Murat zou hebben ontwikkeld. (belga/hln)
Ik zag net op het nieuws van de BBC dat de Rus door de politie is meegenomen.

Asked if he had any criminal convictions, Moscow-born Malinka said: “Not as far as I know. I have just had all my residency papers approved and checks are always made for criminal convictions.” Minutes after the interview, detectives took him into custody. It was later reported on Portuguese national TV that he had convictions for sex offences. Detectives are believed to have been in contact with the Russian branch of Interpol.
Police were searching his parents’ home in a five-storey block of flats in Praia da Luz and another property in nearby La Goa. Malinka had lived with his parents but is thought to have moved to a flat above his computer shop. As the search began Malinka’s father, aged around 50, watched from the car park but refused to comment."

Hij heeft zelf contact gezocht omdat kennelijk iedereen die omgang heeft met Murat wordt nagetrokken en vernam dat een Rus (hij dus) ook in het onderzoek zit. Maar hij is niet gearresteerd, alleen meegenomen om gehoord te worden. Niemand is tot nu toe nog gearresteerd, Murat is nog steeds de enige verdachte maar er is onvoldoende bewijs voor arrestatie.quote:Op donderdag 17 mei 2007 10:00 schreef N.icka het volgende:
Waarom is die Rus eigenlijk gearresteerd? Omdat hij een site voor die ander had gemaakt?

The Mirror noemt de Rus zelfs een pervert, maar lijkt me iets overdreven in dit stadium.

Sergey Malinka, 22, , een informaticus van rond de dertig,
Volgens SkyNews 22 jr en volgens The Sun en The Mirror ook, dan zal 't wel zo zijn.quote:
Nog een artikel in het Nederlands, leest soms wat makkelijker:
Tweede verdachte in zaak Maddie is Rus die al zedenfeiten pleegde
De Brit Robert Murat (33), die als vrijwillige tolk optrad tijdens de eerste dagen na de verdwijning van het vierjarige meisje Maddie McCann, is niet langer de enige verdachte. Gisteren werd een Russische computerexpert, de 22-jarige Sergei Malinka, door de Portugese politie aangehouden. De Rus had een website gemaakt voor Robert Murat en de Portugese politie meldt dat Malinka al eerder veroordeeld is voor zedenfeiten.
"Ik ben het niet, zeker niet"
De Britse krant The Sun had een interview met de Rus, vlak voordat hij werd ondervraagd en aangehouden door de politie. De Rus verklaarde dat hij aan de computer van de éénogige Murat had gewerkt en dat de twee elkaar enkele keren hadden ontmoet. "Hij wilde een website opzetten en ik heb heel wat werk verzet om dat voor mekaar te krijgen", verklaarde hij aan de krant. Hij voegde eraan toe: "Maar ik ben niet de man die ze zoeken, zeker niet".
Gelogen over veroordelingen
De reporter van The Sun vroeg de Rus ook of hij al criminele veroordelingen had opgelopen. Daarop antwoordde hij "Niet voor zover ik weet. Ik heb pas mijn verblijfsvergunning gekregen en ik weet dat de Portugese overheid eerst controleert of er veroordelingen zijn".
Huiszoekingen
Onderzoekers die later verklaarden dat de Rus wel degelijk al is veroordeeld voor zedenfeiten, hebben contact gehad met de Russische tak van Interpol. Gisteren nog doorzochten agenten de woning van de ouders van de Rus in Praia da Luz en nog een ander huis in het nabijgelegen La Goa. Malinka woonde bij zijn ouders maar zou recent verhuisd zijn naar een appartement boven zijn computerwinkel.
Computer en gsm in beslag genomen
Agenten hebben in de villa waar Robert Murat samen met zijn 71-jarige moeder woonde al twee computers in beslag genomen, samen met video's en een gsm. Experts onderzoeken ze op tekenen van gecodeerde boodschappen of links naar verdachte websites. Murat is bij gebrek aan bewijzen inmiddels weer op vrije voeten. De man verklaarde dat de politie niets zou vinden, en dat hij onterecht wordt verdacht.
Ondergrondse kamer
Intussen is wel aan het licht gekomen dat er in het huis van Murat een ondergrondse kamer is. Het huis ligt op een boogscheut van het appartement waar de kleine Maddie veertien dagen geleden uit verdween. Volgens The Sun heeft de politie die ruimte gisteren gecheckt op vingerafdrukken. In hun zoektocht naar sporen hebben de speurders al een binnenmuur uitgebroken, het tuinhuis afgebroken en het waterreservoir en het zwembad doorzocht.
De ex-vrouw van Murat, de 41-jarige Dawn uit Norfolk heeft gisteren laten weten dat ze de politie helpt waar ze maar kan. (hln)

Madeleine suspect and Russian witness 'spoke multiple times' the night Madeleine disappeared
The Portuguese press has reported that Madeleine suspect Robert Murat and Russian witness Sergey Malinka talked more than once on the night that four-year-old Madeleine McCann disappeared. The daily newspaper Correio da Manha reported that detectives discovered there were "several" telephone calls between Mr Murat and Mr Malinka on the night Madeleine went missing.
Today Mr Malinka, 23, insisted he was innocent and said: "This has destroyed my life and career." Mr Malinka said police had questioned him until the early hours today over his links to prime suspect Robert Murat but had released him after failing to find any evidence.
The computer expert, who created a website for Mr Murat and his girlfriend Michaela Walczuch, said: "I am innocent. I am not a suspect in this case. I am merely a witness questioned like eight or nine others. "Everything that has been said about me is lies. There have been claims in the press that I am some kind of sexual maniac or paedophile. It is nonsense and I am going to take everybody who has made these claims to court."
He went on: "The police were convinced I was somehow linked to Robert, but I told them that our relationship was simply through business. All I did was set up a website for him. He is not a friend of mine." He insisted he has a "cast iron alibi" for the night of 3 May, when four-year-old Madeleine disappeared from the Mark Warner complex in the Praia da Luz resort in the Algarve.
Of the police questioning last night, he said: "They kept asking me about Robert. They wanted to know how I knew him and what my link to him was, whether I was with him that night, whether I knew where he was. I told them again and again I knew nothing and there were no close ties between us. I told them that on that night I was at home with my mother Svetlana and father Igor." He added: "My career is destroyed and my life is ruined." De rest.

Police Seize Items In Madeleine Hunt
Updated: 18:32, Thursday May 17, 2007
Police searching for Madeleine McCann have seized a number of items during a search of the house of Russian Sergey Malinka. The officer in charge of the hunt for the four-year-old insisted they are still collecting evidence regarding the investigation. SkyNews
Police hunt red van after Madeleine 'sighting' in Lisbon
Police hunting for Madeleine McCann made a potential breakthrough today after a possible sighting of the four-year-old. Portuguese detectives said they are hunting a red van with fake numberplates seen in the capital city, Lisbon. A witness claimed to have seen a girl like Madeleine in the van.
Detectives issued an alert in a southern suburb of Lisbon, 180 miles north of Praia da Luz, where Madeleine vanished a fortnight ago. Police did not reveal when the sighting was made. It is only the second time police have disclosed reports of a girl looking like Madeleine. The other sighting was of a blonde girl aged three or four at a service station close to Praia da Luz.
She was recorded on CCTV footage, which also showed three adults - two dark-haired men and a blonde woman. But there was no confirmation that the image showed Madeleine. The dramatic move in Lisbon came as the police revealed they had searched Sergey Malinka's house in Portimao.
"During this search, several items were seized and are being examined," Chief Inspector of the Portugese Police, Olegario Sousa said. However, he stressed that Mr Malinka, an associate of Mr Murat, was being treated as a witness at this time.
The Chief Inspector also revealed that the investigation was still centred in the Algarve, and they did not have enough evidence yet to make any arrests. The development comes hours after Portuguese media today reported that Madeleine suspect Robert Murat and Russian witness Sergey Malinka talked more than once on the night the four-year-old disappeared.
