Special Forces Sniper Who Claimed SAS Assassinated Diana Has Fled Britain
September 22nd, 2013Only the tabloids are reporting this. If there’s legitimate coverage of this anywhere (Daily Mail doesn’t count), I can’t find it.
Via: Daily Mail:
The SAS soldier who made astonishing claims Princess Diana was murdered by special forces has apparently fled Britain just days before he is set to be questioned by police.
The former sniper, known only as soldier N, is said to have left the country as Scotland Yard launches a new investigation into the Princess’ death.
He allegedly told his wife that a member of an elite unit shone a light in her chauffeur’s face causing him to crash in August 1997.
The wife claimed her husband had told her the ‘hit’ had been instructed by someone in the royal inner circle because they did not approve of Diana’s relationship with Fayed.
Soldier N was due to meet Scotland Yard’s DCI Philip Easton but is understood to have left the country on Monday or Tuesday.
A source close to the investigation told The Sunday People: ‘Soldier N is key to this inquiry as he is the person who made the claims about Diana’s murder.
‘Pressure on him has been mounting since the original story broke last month. He was aware police wanted to interview him.’
It is thought Soldier N may be have travelled to the United Arab Emirates while his partner and her children are still at their home in Hereford.
Searching for DCI Philip Easton gives the following story from earlier this year.
He is said to be with Hounslow Police, not Scotland Yard, and is tackling fairly low level assault cases.
