Yeah, he says it’s because he’s worried about the safety of himself and his family. They’re genuine concerns (not mine) that dangerous people will go after them and I don’t think not naming them will affect the decision on his parole. Only a few years back in jail he was heard using the same racist language that was used the night of the murder. He clearly hasn’t changed and never will. He’ll be refused parole on that basis and rightly so.

Mr Russell Flint KC asked Mr McCann why they did not support a DNA test, following calls from Julia Wandelt's "supporters" for one to be carried out. "There's three reasons," Mr McCann said. "We didn't believe she was Madeleine, we'd been reassured by the Metropolitan Police following their investigations within Poland she was who her name is. "Lastly, it's not our responsibility to do a DNA test, it's a matter for investigative forces." The McCanns did not discuss a DNA test "until after her arrest", the court was told. "We didn't think there was any doubt she was not Madeleine," Mr McCann said. Mr Russell Flint KC asked: "Did you ever wonder what if?" Mr McCann responded: "To be honest, no." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cvgr7vpx8qdt please log in to view this image
