  Speaker 2: now getting more details about the funeral arrangements, and in

  Speaker 2: a little over twelve hours time now Pope Francis will

  Speaker 2: be taken to Cent Peter's Basilica and the coffin will

  Speaker 1: Keavin, it just doesn't end for the family of Medel

  Speaker 1: and McCain, does it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid not No. So a couple of extraordinary cases
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: currently before the judges here where two women have denied
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: stalking the family of Madeline macan. You remember the little
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: girl went missing in two thousand and seven. Lots of
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: conspiracy theorists, lots of people suggesting that they might know
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: who it is. But I'm afraid the little girl has
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: never been found. And today a woman from southwest Poland
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and a sixty year old from Cardiff in Wales attended
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Leicester Crown Court. They entered not guilty please, and were
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: told that they would both go on trial on the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: second of October. The twenty three year old from south
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: west Poland, or Lubin, is accused of sending letters and
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: messages to Madeline's parents and also to her siblings Sean
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and Amelie McCann and also up to February of this year.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: The one of the defenders accused of going to the
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: family's home in Leicestershire in the Midlands as well, so
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: obviously a great deal of distress course to the family
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and these allegations being pursued through the courts now by
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: those relevant authorities, and last week ministers here in the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: UK approved a further two hundred and twenty thousand Ousie
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: dollars of funding for the ongoing investigation into Maddie's disappearance.
