Di answers still needed

IT is 22 years since we lost Princess Diana in that horrific Paris car crash.

Since then, the tragic story has been mired in controversy.

This paper has no time for conspiracy theories. There is little doubt that Diana and her companion Dodi Fayed were killed in an accident.

But the doubts persist.

Some things still do not add up. Strange decisions continue to be taken that defy logic.

Our exclusive today tells how a Fiat Uno driver, who was allegedly involved in the collision in the Paris tunnel, has been traced and has told part of his story.

Le Van Thanh denies being the driver who clipped Diana’s Mercedes, but British police wanted him to come to the UK to answer questions.

He was advised against doing this at the time, and it never happened. He never gave evidence at the inquiry. This all raises a few questions.

And it is certainly odd that Mr Thanh’s car was resprayed hours after the crash.

Lord Stevens, the former commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, believes Mr Thanh was the Fiat driver. He wants British police to interview him.

Michael Mansfield QC, who represented Mohamed al-Fayed, Dodi’s father, has also called for further investigations.

There is a simple way to end the uncertainties surrounding Diana’s death all those years ago.

We should follow the recommendations of many responsible individuals and get to the bottom of this once and for all.

We can only do that by reopening the Diana inquiry.
