The results of a "scoping exercise" to examine purported new evidence on the death of Diana, Princess of Wales will be revealed by the Metropolitan Police on Tuesday. | The results of a "scoping exercise" to examine purported new evidence on the death of Diana, Princess of Wales will be revealed by the Metropolitan Police on Tuesday. |
The Met had said it received material on 16 August relating to the deaths of the princess and Dodi Al Fayed in 1997. | |
The "relevance and credibility" of that have now been assessed, the Met said. | |
According to Sky News, police found no "credible" evidence of SAS involvement, but the Met refused to comment. | |
In a letter quoted by Sky News, Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley reportedly wrote: "Whilst there is a possibility that the alleged comments in relation to the SAS's involvement in the death may have been made, there is no credible or relevant evidence to support a theory that such claims had any basis in fact." | |
In August, several British newspapers reported that allegations of military involvement in the deaths had been passed to police by an Army source. | |
Scotland Yard said no further information would be given before the official statement on Tuesday. |
