The parents of missing British girl Madeleine McCann have insisted they will not be "bullied" into leaving Portugal by a growing backlash against them.
The lawyer of the only suspect in the case claimed residents in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz wanted to see the back of the family they referred to as "these bloody McCanns".
Portuguese newspapers repeated claims that detectives now believe four-year-old Madeleine was killed in the McCann holiday flat rather than abducted.
Kate McCann said she and her husband Gerry would defy the harsh treatment they had received in recent days and stay in Portugal.
She said: "We will never go through anything worse than being parted from Madeleine. We will not be leaving or be forced out. I am not prepared to be bullied into doing something that I don't want to."
The couple are due to help open a new section on the Youtube website for videos of missing children.
The new site will be managed and policed by the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children in Washington, DC.
