The inquest into the death of the former British Princess of Wales, Diana and her boyfriend Dodi al-Fayed continues. The latest testimony coming from Trevor Rees who said he felt pressured by his boss, Dodi's father Mohammed al-Fayed to remember details of the crash.
Rees was in the front seat of the vehicle beside driver Henri Paul when the vehicle crashed. He was the only survivor of the accident in the Paris tunnel. Rees was badly hurt in the accident.
Apparently during his convalesence, his boss Mohammed al-Fayed visited him often, probing him to remember the accident, which Rees apparently didn't remember. He said that his lack of a memory of the accident frustrated al-Fayed who wanted him to recall what happened.
Mohammed al-Fayed, believes that his son and the Princess were killed in a conspiracy orchestrated by the British establishment, which is another way of saying Royal Family, or at least members thereof.
It sounds like in his exhuberance to get something on the Royal Family, or at least to get information to back up his claims of a conspiracy, al-Fayed may have been hearing what he wanted to hear, or at the very least, asking Trevor Rees questions that resulted in answers he wanted. For instance, the senior al-Fayed would ask if certain scenarios were possible, and get an answer from Rees, that whatever the idea was, it could be a possibility. Hardly substantive proof.....
According to Trevor Rees testimony, al-Fayed asked him several times about the possibility of a flash in the tunnel prior to the crash. One of al-Fayed's claims involves the driver, Henri Paul being blinded by a bright light in the tunnel.
Mohammed al-Fayed believes the flash was caused by a 'stun gun' deliberately fired to blind the driver. This is not completely unfounded as there were other accounts of some sort of bright flash being seen by others, but as with so much of the story around the crash, most of it has been either discounted or not spoken of since the crash. Rumors abound about the accident, and unfortunately it becomes very hard to distinguish fact from fiction.
One thing is certain, Mohammed al-Fayed has been doggedly determined in his own personal quest to prove that his son's death and that of Diana was something more than an accident. One of his theories is that the couple were killed because Diana was pregnant with Dodi's baby, and the couple were planning marriage. Something that Mohammed al-Fayed believes the British would not want to have happen.
Unfortunately, testimony like that provided by Trevor Rees doesn't do much for the case either way. On the one hand, he could be lying, part of the conspiracy himself, or it could be that it all happened to fast and he was too badly injured to remember anything. Either way, his testimony isn't worth much which is too bad as he is one person who would have certainly been right there in the middle.
Like so many of the stories and conspiracy theories we discuss here, there may never be answers, or the answers may depend on what you choose to believe, because proof is a very fleeting thing in matters of conspiracies. And...when the truth is told, sometimes it is to incredulous, or on the other hand, to banal to be believed and the mystery goes unsolved.
Such may be the case with this one. Even if a witness came forward, it is not difficult to discount one person's testimony, and in the case of conspiracies, unless the entire group come forward, or someone with very unarguable, solid, tangible proof comes forward, it is difficult to be believed.
