Coroner tells inquest jury of Di’s car crash fears

A JURY yesterday began the long-awaited task of deciding whether Diana, Princess of Wales, was murdered in an establishment conspiracy.

As the inquest into the deaths of the princess and her lover Dodi Fayed finally opened in London — 10 years after the crash in Paris that killed them — a coroner outlined a raft of claims and counter-claims.

Lord Justice Scott Baker told the jury of six women and five men that many had come to believe something “sinister” may lie behind the crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris on August 31, 1997.
