Gossip Corner: Thoughts on Robert Murat.

This is in no way meant to malign Mr Murat, but the inconsistencies involving his statement do seem to have mounted up, I feel as he is the 3rd suspect and as the mcCann's have been up for prolonged and sometimes vicious debate, then Murat is fair game for debate too.

• He changed his sworn statement to the Portuguese police
• He said he was with his girlfriend Michaela Walczuch
• Then changed it it saying he was with his mother all night sitting at the kitchen table.
• He said we went to bed at around 10.30pm and then told the magazine Vanity Fair that he was up until around 01.00am in the kitchen.
• He stated that as he was in bed fast asleep from around 10.30 that night and this is why he didn't hear the furore and noise and commotion going on outside Casa Liliana.
• When did he go to bed? 10.30pm or 01.00am? If it was 01.00am why then did he not hear all the commotion going on outside in the normally quite area of Praia da Luz?
• Why has he given two different time lines?
• He said that he did not use his mobile phone that night.
• Records show that he did use his phone that night, who did he call? Russian Sergy Malinka?
• Murat initially said he did not call Malinka, bu then phone records show that he did call the Russian man.
• Why did Murat lie about talking to Sergy Malinka on the phone?
• Why did Sergy Malinka lie about talking to Murat on the phone.
• Malinka says they are not friends, more like acquaintances, that is fine, but why lie about talking to each other on such a night?
• Was Malinka supplying porn? If so what porn? Sorry but this question needs to be asked and answered and hopefully the Pj have.
• Have Marat's properties been searched and forensically examined?
• Murat's girlfriend herself has an alibi which is in doubt, she says she was in a particular church and she wasn't, she now says she was at another church.
• Murat says he never went out that night of May 3rd
• An increasing number of witnesses have come forward to positively ID him outside the McCann apartment smoking.
• Is he lying again? If he is why?
• If it was not Murat, then who was it? a lookalike?
• Murat has 3 lookalikes all present in PDL that night of May 3rd
• Luis Antonio (Murat's girlfriend's ex!) Payne and Symington.
• Symington is startlingly like Murat and is some kind of relative, yet Symington and Murat deny knowing each other or of each other.
• We are asked to believe that Symington and Murat, related in some way and bizarrely in the same line of business in a tiny place like Praia da Luz, never knew each other! (Sorry don't buy that!)
• Bizarrely again, Murat is said to have a daughter that strongly resembles Madeleine (Another strange coincidence?!)
• Murat was said to have hired a car locally on the Saturday after Madeleine disappeared and that he was in an agitated state.
• Why hire a car when apparently he has 3?
• He had been hanging around the investigation from day one trying to discover from the local guard (GNR) whom he is familiar with, or from journalists what was happening in the investigation.
• He offered and was in fact used to translate between witnesses and the PJ

Please fell free to add anymore that I may have forgotten.
