New information reportedly handed to Scotland Yard by military police allege she was killed by British military personnel with SAS links. The dossier is believed to include the claim that at least one soldier was sent to France to assassinate Diana.
It also alludes to the Princess’s own murder fears in her secret diary discovered after the Paris crash nearly 16 years ago this month. The information was passed on by the parents-in-law of a former soldier who was serving in 1997. This weekend the Yard is assessing the reliability and credibility of the information that is believed to make references to the SAS.
A sergeant from the original police investigation, who is now more senior, is leading the new inquiry into the death of divorced Diana, 36, and boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed, 42. Henri Paul, 41, the drunk driver of the Mercedes, also died in the accident in a tunnel at the Pont d’Alma on August 31, 1997. Diana’s death has been surrounded by conspiracy theories and claims she was murdered.
