Maddie suspect had kid porn

MADELEINE McCann suspect Robert Murat viewed child pornography (visited a string of depraved websites) on his computer, it was revealed yesterday.

He lives yards from the Portuguese holiday flat where Maddie, four, was snatched.

A police source said: “Examination of Mr Murat’s computer has confirmed an unhealthy appetite for deeply disturbing material.

“There is no direct link between what was found and Madeleine.

“But officers are describing it as a ‘relevant sexual history’.”

Murat’s ex-boss Paul Titcombe, 49, called him “a huge porn fan, addicted to women.”

Garage owner Paul, of Norwich, said Murat once terrified a female colleague at the Bernard Matthews factory by stalking her.

He added: “She said he was obsessive and she felt very uncomfortable around him indeed. She hated his pestering. In fact many women loathed Rob.”

Paul also suspected Murat of an unhealthy interest in children.

Murat has been named as the only official police suspect in the hunt for Maddie, who vanished in Praia da Luz on May 3.

He has been released after lengthy interrogation as no evidence was found linking him to the abduction.

Maddie’s parents, doctors Gerry and Kate, both 38, of Rothley, Leics, have been told of Murat’s sickening viewing, which also included sites featuring bestiality.

Murat’s ex-wife Dawn said police quizzed her about his sexual tastes.

She told them she never knew of him watching porn.

But Dawn, 41, who lives near Dereham, Norfolk, said that after they split she feared he would snatch their daughter Sofia, four — a Maddie lookalike.

As a precaution she hid Sofia’s passport.

The Pope has agreed to meet devoutly religious Gerry and Kate in the Vatican this week.

They could have a “general audience” alongside other Catholics on Wednesday.

But Benedict XVI is expected to comfort the couple privately — and may mention Maddie in his prayers in St Peter’s Square, senior sources said.
