“This monster is the stuff nightmares are made of,” that’s how one netizen described Christian Brueckner, the prime suspect in the disappearance of British toddler Madeleine McCann, after he appeared to smirk while leaving a German courthouse.
“Did you k*ll Maddie?” one journalist shouted, causing the convicted felon to flash a smile.
The 48-year-old was appearing before judges in Lehrte, not for any offence directly related to the McCann case, but rather for insulting guards at the prison where he is serving a seven-year sentence for r*pe—a punishable offence in the country.
