SAS gets 'clean chit' in Princess Diana's alleged 'murder plot'

The Met Police has ruled out any form of conspiracy theory linking SAS to Princess Diana's alleged 'murder plot' because of lack of "credible evidence".

Investigations into the matter started after former SAS sniper, dubbed Soldier N, claimed that the 1997 Paris car crash, which killed Diana, her beau Dodi Fayed and chauffer Henri Paul, happened when a blinding light was shone in the driver's eyes to make him lose control of the car.

However, Assistant Commissioner, Mark Rowley, said in a letter obtained by Sky News that whilst there is a possibility that the alleged comments in relation to the SAS's involvement in Diana's death may have been made, there is no credible or relevant evidence to support a theory that such claims had any basis in fact.

Rowley asserted that after reviewing police's 'scoping exercise' and its findings, he believes that there is no evidential basis upon which therefore to re-open any criminal homicide investigation or refer the matter back to the coroner.

The letter also claimed that due to the extraordinary publicity and conjecture that followed the deaths and the inquests, there will have been those who, for whatever motivation, will have sought to demonstrate particular inside knowledge, or to claim some form of recognition.
