Man accused of knife attack on four children in Annecy held on attempted murder charges
The man suspected of stabbing four children in a playground in France has been held on charges of attempted murder. French judges handed the preliminary charges to the 31-year-old Syrian asylum seeker, who has not been named, on Saturday. He is due to appear in court this afternoon. The stabbings left four children - including a three-year-old British child - fighting for their lives. Two adults were also injured in the attack which unfolded on Thursday morning in the picturesque town of Annecy in the French Alps. The lead prosecutor, Line Bonnet-Mathis, said the victims are no longer in life-threatening condition after Thursday’s attack. In a translated statement, she said: “The prosecution service of Annecy immediately opened a case and the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police have also been involved. “The assailant at 9.47am was put into custody. “The prosecution service of Annecy opened a judicial case for attempted murder. The prosecution service put the assailant in provisional custody. “And this afternoon (Saturday) he was going to be taken to court and he will appear before the judge.” Read More Man accused of knife attack on four children in Annecy held on attempted murder charges Syrian man handed preliminary attempted murder charges after children stabbed French stabbing suspect faces charges as injured toddlers remain hospitalized

Madeleine McCann police confirm ‘number of items’ recovered from Algarve reservoir search
Police investigating the disappearance of McCann police say they have recovered a number of items from their recent search of a reservoir in Portugal. German authorities last week helped Portuguese crews comb a remote area inland from the Algarve coastal resort where Madeleine went missing from her bedroom during a family holiday in 2007. Prosecutors said they would evaluate the undisclosed items in the coming days and weeks. “Whether some of the items actually relate to the Madeleine McCann case cannot yet be confirmed,” the prosecutor’s statement read. Last week, police in Portugal undertook a three-day search at the remote reservoir which is located around 31 miles from the Praia de Luz resort- the hotel where Madeleine vanished while her parents were at dinner in a tapas bar with friends around 100 yards away from their holiday apartment. As part of this investigation, police dug holes of around 60cm and the surrounding woodland showed pathways had been cut by heavy machinery, leading to the main flattened 160 square foot excavation area.
