By Gerard Couzens and Daily Mail Reporter Gerry McCann has flown to join his wife Kate in Portugal in the hope he may give evidence in their libel case brought against a disgraced police chief. Mr McCann had remained at home looking after the couple's twins while his wife attended the trial against the former policeman Goncalo Amaral, in Lisbon. The heart specialist is now on his way to join his wife Kate, according to the family's spokesman Clarence Mitchell, and he hopes to give evidence against Amaral who the couple claim engulfed them in a ‘massive tidal wave of lies’ when he published a book on his thoughts on the Madeleine McCann investigation.
