Woman accusing Christian Brückner of rape says his eyes ‘bored into my skull’

A woman who alleges she was raped at knifepoint by the main suspect in the disappearance of Madeleine McCann has told a court she would never forget the eyes of her attacker, which “bored into my skull”.

Brückner, 47, who was named by German police in 2020 as the main suspect in the disappearance of the British toddler Madeleine McCann – not the focus of the trial – was at one point asked by the judge, Uta Engemann, to approach the bench so that she could examine his eyes, after Behan said she would “never forget” the eyes of her attacker.

She said she suffered from recurring PTSD and frequent panic attacks as a result of the assault. The court was shown pictures of scars on the backs of her legs which remain to this day, from where she was tied with rope to a breakfast bar during the prolonged attack at the flat where she lived.
