Londen - de rechter in inquest op de dood van Prinses Diana in 1997 vertelde vlak de juryMaandag dat zij niet in enig zogenaamd perceel moord dat door de Britse geheime dienst wordt aangespoord. Lord Justice die Scott Baker, zijn het samenvatten geeft, zei er „niet een stukje van bewijsmateriaal“ dat MI6 van Groot-Brittannië in een perceel werd geïmpliceerd om Diana te doden, zoals beweerd door Egyptische zakenman en Harrods eigenaar Mohamed al-Fayed was.

Hij zei ook er geen bewijsmateriaal bij al dat Prins Philip, echtgenoot van Koningin Elizabeth, had om het even welk de dood van de vrouw indienen die de Prinses van Harten synchroniseerde, zoals beweerd door al-Fayed was zich.

Al-Fayed’s son Dodi and Diana, former wife of Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, were killed in a car crash in Paris’ Alma tunnel in August 1997.

Judge Baker’s summary came at the end of a six-month inquest which heard 250 witnesses and examined thousands of pieces of evidence.

Baker instructed the jurors that they could either pass an open verdict, rule the couple’s death had been an accident or a case of gross negligence by the pursuing paparazzi or the couple’s driver Henri Paul.

Years of investigations by French police and Scotland Yard had come to the same conclusion, rejecting murder speculation of a car blinding the driver with its headlights or a mysterious Fiat ramming Diana’s Mercedes limousine.

Diana’s sons William and Harry had added to media speculation that denied Diana to rest in peace. Shortly before the 10th anniversary of her death, William, 25, said in a TV interview that he would never stop thinking about the causes of her death.

His 23-year-old brother Harry added that “no-one would ever know that had happened in that tunnel.”

Britain’s media immediately took these remarks, despite the princes’ later clarification that they never doubted the deaths had been accidental, as an indication that “dark powers” may have been at work.

Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell, 49, who first coined the “dark powers” theory in his bestselling Diana memoirs, was asked at the inquest to prove his claims of royal warnings about sinister goings- on.

He claimed that Queen Elizabeth had warned him that “in this country, powers are at work that we don’t know about” - but during the inquest failed to provide promised evidence. Baker refused to summon the queen to the witness stand.

After Burrell was caught on video boasting that he lied in the inquest, it became obvious that al-Fayed’s accusations would not win the day.
