JURORS in the trial of two women accused of stalking Madeleine McCann's parents have retired to consider their verdicts.
-
Prosecutors allege Polish national Julia Wandelt, 24, and her co-defendant Karen Spragg stalked Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February this year by turning up at the couple's home, making phone calls and sending them messages.
Wandelt is accused of wrongly claiming to be Madeleine, whose 2007 disappearance in Portugal has not been solved, while stalking the girl’s parents, causing serious alarm and distress.
Spragg, of Caerau Court Road in Caerau, Cardiff, and Wandelt both deny the charge against them.
