MADELEINE McCann prime suspect Christian Brueckner asked a chilling question about “children’s bones” to his cellmate, it has been claimed.

Confiding about his past, Brueckner is said to have asked his cellmate if he “too” was behind bars for child offences.
But a particularly harrowing question made Laurentiu C raise the prospect of Maddie being buried.
The inmate told Braunschweig Regional Court the rapist had asked him “if the DNA from a child can be taken from bones under the ground”.
Brueckner then is said to have confided he had taken “a child” during a break-in in Portugal – and begged the fellow con to burn down his lair when he got out of prison.
Laurentiu C told the court: “He asked me if the DNA from a child can be taken from bones under the ground.”
“He told me that in Portugal, he had stolen there.
“He was in an area of hotels where rich people live. And when he went to the hotel area, there was an open window somewhere, he told me.
“And he would have entered this window for money and gold. However, he not not find any money, but came across a child and took it with him.

“About two hours later, the area was full of police and dogs and he had left from there.
“He left the area. He then said that there was another person with him who he had argued with and that they had split up.”
Laurentiu C claimed that Brueckner was concerned about leaving evidence at crime scenes, such as hair or traces from climbing over a balcony.
In court, he alleged that Brueckner had ordered him to burn down his box factory after being freed from prison, believing he would never be free again.
Laurentiu C also said the rapist boasted about hiding his tracks by burning a car, but he did not specify which crime in court.
He said: He said: “He told me that he was there in Portugal with another person and that he set fire to a car or hired someone else to set fire to a car in Portugal.”
The witness also alleged Brueckner told him of abusing “tiny” young girls on a “bus” he owned after snatching them.
He told the court: “There was talk of a girl, I don’t know if what he said was true or not.
“He said that he had a bus and that he had taken her with it. He said he kept some of them, but not others, but he never said that he had killed them.
“We’re talking about girls, not boys. Not all at once, always one at a time. He told me about two. He said that he had taken someone, had sex with her but he didn’t kill her.”
Asked by the judge how old his victim was, Laurentiu C said: “I don’t want to get it wrong, but it was very young, tiny. I mean young.
“Each time when we were together he spoke about it because he was convinced that I was a paedophile.”
The witness told the court that the German confided in him when they were both on remand in the same prison.
The perpetrators were in prison together in 2020, after Brueckner was publicly recognised as the key suspect in Madeleine’s disappearance in 2007.
The statement provides a significant assist to the Maddie case because it demonstrates that prosecutors in Germany now have a second witness to Brueckner’s confessions.
Previously, they appeared to rely solely on the testimony of ex-drifter Helge Busching, whose credibility has been injured during Brueckner’s present rape and sex crimes prosecution.
Brueckner had previously seen photographs of Maddie in court for the first time as part of exhibits, which were exhibited on large screens.
He is on trial for a string of rapes and sex offences unconnected to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, which he denies.
The trial continues.

The main feature will be the huge castle[/caption]
First announced in 2022, the 9,000sqm (97,000sqft) will be set in the grounds of a new castle called Bommelstein.

One of the main rides will be the Bulder Baan family coaster, a 257 metre long rollercoaster with speeds up to 45km/h.
A mini flume called Razende Rommel will also be included, with the dark ride reaching highs of four metres.
Other attractions include a mini jet ride called Daverend Draken Spektakel as well as a swing caroulse. and harbour-themed area.
Sjors van Roosmalen, Creative Director at Jora Vision said it was “very special” for a theme park to be built from scratch in the Netherlands.
They said: “It is therefore extra fun to show how we went from the drawing board to a themed setting and to reveal the extraordinary line-up of attractions.”
Peter van der Schans, Executive Director and Vice President of IAAPA EMEA, added: “The Netherlands is one of the countries with the very highest density of theme parks, amusement parks and festivals.
“It is rare for an entirely new amusement park to be built.”
An official opening date, as well as ticket prices, are yet to be confirmed
For Brits to get there, Brits are best flying or getting the Eurostar to Amsterdam.
The cheapest flights are with easyJet, starting from £14.99 when flying from Bristol, Manchester or Liverpool and taking just over an hour.

Groenlo is then less than two hours drive from Amsterdam.
It is also around two hours from Eindhoven, which is near Efteling, one of the Netherlands most famous theme parks.
Often compared to Disneyland, inside are storybook names like Cinderella and Tom Thumb roaming around in place of Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Use these tips on your next theme park trip
Next time you visit a theme park, you may want to use our top tips to make the most of your adrenaline-inducing day out.
Go to the back of the theme park first. Rides at the front will have the longest queues as soon as it opens.
Go on water rides in the middle of the day in the summer – this will cool you off when the sun is at its hottest.
Download the park’s app to track which rides have the shortest queues.
Visit on your birthday, as some parks give out “birthday badges” that can get you freebies.
If it rains, contact the park. Depending on how much it rained, you may get a free ticket to return.
Efteling first opened in 1952 and is often ranked as one of Europe’s best theme parks alongside Europa Park in Germany and Disneyland Paris.
