Ricardo,
As
requested, appended are the statements
of Arul and Katherina Gaspar.
"I read carefully the written document/questionnaire provided by David Payne."
but was not able to extricate any other information besides what is already known. He declares that he saw Madeleine, for the last time, at 17H00 on 3/5/07 in the McCann apartment. Also present there were Kate and Gerry. He did not indicate the motive for being there or what he was doing. He also cannot indicate how long he stayed.

When asked with whom he was on the afternoon of May 3rd, he declares that this information was already offered to the police and cannot remember if anyone else was there.
He does not remember what he was wearing that afternoon.
He
took part in the searches, having carried out most of them alone. He
was at times accompanied by Matthew Oldfield.
He
did not partake in the searches realized on the 4th of May, because,
on this day, he spent to majority of time in the police headquarters.
For many questions, he does not give a complete response, affirming simply that he has already given this information to the Portuguese police in his declarations.
I
examined once again the declarations of Fiona Payne. In her
depositions, she states that she went to the McCann apartment, around
19H00, on the 3rd of May, together with Kate. She states afterwards
that, 10 minutes later, the husband arrived; it is not clear which
husband she refers to.
Her responses to the questions are vague. She continued to respond to questions with "they conform with my earlier deposition" or some similar statement.
