The parents of Madeleine McCann have been left “shocked and saddened” after a Facebook troll posed as their missing daughter, it has been reported.
The troll posted pictures of Kate and Gerry McCann, which were taken at a restaurant in Scotland on Saturday, and wrote a message taunting them about Madeleine.
Madeline’s parent Kate and Gerry were pictured walking past a table at Beijing Banquet in Renfrew, near Glasgow, close to where Mr McCann has family.
The pair were carrying plates of buffet food back to their table in the pictures.
Alongside the images of the couple in the restaurant, the Facebook troll posted the message “Mum and dad are closer than I thought.”
A source from the family said in the uk press “Kate and Gerry are both shocked and saddened that someone could stoop this low.”
The McCanns’ family spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, declined to comment on the alleged trolling.
