New Zealand police dismiss reports of Madeleine McCann sighting

Police in New Zealand have dismissed fresh reports of a sighting of missing British girl Madeleine McCann.

It has been nearly six years since the young girl went missing while on holiday with her family in Portugal.

The latest suspected sighting was on New Year's Eve in the resort town of Queenstown and in the same southern region of New Zealand where there have been other claims the youngster has been seen in recent years.

However, a Queenstown detective said police were "absolutely satisfied" the child was not Madeleine and it was not the first time someone had noted a similarity between the two girls.
