I think that verdict was the least that could have been found. Yet there are *still* unanswered questions even allowing for the months of evidence and the twenty million pounds the inquest has cost. We still need information concerning the White Fiat Uno that reportedly sideswiped the car she was travelling in. We also need … More Lady Di unlawfully killed?

Odd that the mother of little Shannon Matthews should be arrested for ‘perverting the course of justice’. Really makes you wonder what she did!
