Diana death was murky, says chat-show Piers Morgan
Evening Standard 1 Jul 2011Chat show host Piers Morgan believes that Princess Diana's death was "murky" and that the British secret service kills people.
The former newspaper editor's views will be revealed next week at the first public screening of a documentary about the princess, who would have had her 50th birthday today.
He told the film he believes the inquest into the fatal 1997 Paris crash heard "dramatic revelations" that seemingly were never followed up.
The movie, Unlawful Killing, was made by actor Keith Allen with money - but no editorial control - from Mohamed Fayed. The former Harrods owner argued that Diana and her lover, Mr Fayed's son Dodi, were killed by MI6 on the orders of the Duke of Edinburgh.
The film is so legally contentious it may never be shown here but will be premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh on Wednesday.
Speaking of the inquest, which returned unlawful killing verdicts, Morgan, 46, said: "You had, I think, a fairly unsatisfactory result. I thought, 'This is murky, murkier than I thought'.
"When the head of British security services announces, 'We never killed anybody in the last 50 years', I laughed aloud."

Hi Piers
If you're reading this ? I've got some pictures of UK troops abusing Iraqis that you might find interesting. I took them last week in Saladad in Iraq, W1. Cos as you know we're still there according to a lot of the public
I'll give them to you if you promise to leave the British public alone and disappear off our screens with your faux emoting and pretend posh Englishman routine,
thanks

We're all being fooled, it's a mass conspiracy, consider the facts.
Diana was being driven by Henri Paul.
Benny from Crossroads was played by Paul Henry.
Benny was always looking for "Miss Diane."
