Diana inquiry costs exceed £12m


The cost of the investigation into the death of Princess Diana has topped £12.5m, new figures show.

The coroner's inquest reached £4.5m, with a further £8m spent on the Metropolitan Police investigation.

The inquest into the deaths of Diana and Dodi Al Fayed, who died in a 1997 Paris car crash, lasted more than three months and heard from 250 witnesses.

The jury returned verdicts of unlawful killing. A BBC poll found 78% of people thought the inquest a waste of money.

Further insanity

Does Great Britain have no better use of their money? I mean yes, Princess Diana died, but does it mean that £12.5m needs to be spent just so everyone can be sure that she wasn't murdered? Come on people...

Grade this.
