STORYLINE
British couple Gerry and Kate McCann, parents of missing 4-year-old Madeleine, began their journey home on Sunday, days after being named as suspects in her disappearance of their 4-year-old daughter and being questioned by Portuguese police about new forensic evidence authorities believe tie them to the case.
The McCanns were to board an easyJet flight from Faro airport at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, en route to an airport near their home in central England.
Police pushed back hundreds of journalists camped outside the McCanns' holiday home, allowing a silver Renault driven by Gerry McCann and carrying the couple and their 2-year-old twins to leave for the airport.
Earlier, family spokeswoman Justine McGuinness told The Associated Press the couple was leaving with full knowledge of the Portuguese authorities and police.
Their Portuguese lawyer, Carlos Pinto Abreu, said after the separate interrogations ended late on Friday that police had not imposed any restrictions on them, meaning they were free to travel.
Despite being classified as suspects in the May 3 disappearance of their daughter Madeleine, there are no charges against the McCanns.
Nonetheless, police could have asked a court to block their exit from the country.
The McCanns have strenuously professed their innocence in the May 3 disappearance of their daughter from a hotel room in southern Portugal's Algarve region, where she and her twin 2-year-old siblings were sleeping.
