The mother of Madeleine McCann said she was offered an astonishing deal by cops in Portugal after her daughter went missing .
Kate McCann was told if she admitted to killing her daughter in the holiday resort of Praia da Luz then husband Gerry would "go free".
A lawyer helping the couple told Kate that if she agreed to the deal with the police then it would be "much better" than if they were both charged with murder.
The devastated mum was told that she could end up in prison for the remainder of her life.

Kate furiously told the lawyer she would be lying if she agreed to the deal, and suggested if she did that the search for her missing daughter would end.
