'No evidence' | |
The princess, Dodi Al Fayed, and driver Henri Paul died when their Mercedes crashed in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel on 31 August 1997. | |
They were being pursued by photographers after leaving the Ritz Hotel for Mr Al Fayed's apartment. | |
A three-year investigation by former Metropolitan Police chief Lord Stevens found no evidence of a conspiracy to murder the couple. | |
At an earlier hearing Lady Butler-Sloss ruled that the inquest will be conducted without a jury, a move fiercely criticised by Dodi's father Mohammed Al Fayed. | |
The police inquiry was requested by royal coroner Michael Burgess when the inquests were opened and adjourned in January 2004. |
