McCanns: 'DNA claims a disgrace'

This week it was suggested that DNA evidence had failed to clear the McCanns of suspicion, but today Clarence Mitchell restated the pair's innocence.

Mr Mitchell: "Officially, I cannot discuss the detailed aspects of the case - it is still very much an active police investigation.

"What I can say though is Kate and Gerry have nothing to hide at all. They are perfectly happy to answer any of this, if it comes to it.

"There are wholly innocent explanations for anything the police may or may not have found.

"I would point to some of these stories this morning - they are unsourced, they are unsubstantiated...

"Frankly, some of the headlines this morning are a complete disgrace."

Madeleine has now been missing for 159 days.
