Police to contact Charles in Diana ‘scoping exercise’

Twins get to record with their music idol

- NONDUMISO MBUYAZI

JUST two weeks after identical Durban twins stole hearts with their tear-jerking Idols audition, they have now also caught the eye of multiple award- winning singer Zahara.

The 17- year- olds, Anele and Neliswa Mxhakaza, of Mayville, were still “pinching” themselves this week after being invited to record a song with the country’s top- selling singer.

“The feeling is still very much surreal,” said Anele, after the girls recorded with the Loliwe singer at the KZN Music House studios.

The track, Ubomi Endibaziyo ( The Life That I Know), is expected to be included on Zahara’s second album, due for release at the end of this month.

Anele said they were gobsmacked when they were invited to record with Zahara.

“Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think we could get the chance to record with Zahara, who is one of our music idols,” she said. LONDON: Prince Charles and Mohamed Al Fayed are being contacted by police as they assess claims that the Special Air Service (SAS) murdered Princess Diana.

Scotland Yard said it was contacting Lord Justice Scott Baker, the judge who presided over the inquest into her death.

Diana, 36, Al Fayed’s son Dodi, 42, and chauffeur Henri Paul, 41, all died in a crash in Paris in August 1997.

Police are doing a “scoping exercise” to probe claims that the trio were murdered by a member of the British military.

They have not launched a full investigat­ion.

Royal bodyguards and MPs have brushed off accusation­s that the Princess of Wales’s death 16 years ago was carried out by British special forces who then covered it up.

The allegation surfaced in the second court martial of Sergeant Danny Nightingal­e, the SAS sniper convicted of illegally stashing a pistol and 338 bullets in his bedroom.

The claim was contained in a letter from the parents-in-law of “Soldier N”, Nightingal­e’s former housemate, which was sent to the SAS’s commanding officer in September 2011.

Scotland Yard confirmed yesterday it would be contacting members of the royal family to inform them about the new developmen­ts. “We are in the process of notifying Princess Diana’s family, the family of Dodi Al Fayed and Lord Justice Scott Baker,” a spokesman said.

Scotland Yard routinely contacts relevant parties to keep them informed about what is going on when there are new developmen­ts in a historic case.

Soldier N, who is serving a custodial sentence for possessing firearms, was reported to the police by his wife, from whom he is now separated.

The letter was sent to Soldier N’s commanding officer in September 2011 and passed to the Service Prosecutin­g Authority ( SPA) before the start of the Nightingal­e trial.

All references to the SAS were removed by the SPA.

The paragraph referring to the death of Diana says: “He also told her (his wife) that it was the XXX who arranged Princess Diana’s death and that has been covered up.”

The letter says Soldier N told his wife there was a “box which members of his unit use for private jobs… They put in the box the name, address and details of what they want done and then one of them who wants to earn extra money does that job.” When Soldier N was challenged by his motherin-law, he is accused of saying: “Let me stop you right there – I kill women and I kill children.”

There was no comment from Prince William, Prince Harry or Clarence House. – Daily Mail
