LONDON: Nearly 12 years after Princess Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed were killed in a Paris car crash, a
British lawyer, who represented
the al-Fayeds at the inquest into the mishap, has claimed her death was not an accident.
In his book, 'Memoirs of a Radical Lawyer', Michael Mansfield has said that the 1997 car crash in the Alma Tunnel in Paris still poses some unanswered questions despite lengthy inquest at the High Court.
The 67-year-old Queen's Counsel, who has represented clients in many high profile cases, has insisted the inquest had not been a waste of time and that Fayed was entitled to the procedure as "a grieving father".
In the book, which is being serialized in 'The Times', he wrote: "I found it difficult simply to accept that what happened in the Alma Tunnel in Paris was 'just one of those tragic things'. Of course it might have been, but then that's what 'they' always hope we will think.
"Judging whether a hidden hand is at work is always difficult, but I prefer a healthy and inquisitive assessment of the authorized version, and for me it was mere serendipity to be approached a year after the crash and asked to represent Mohamed Al Fayed for the purposes of an inquest."
