Diana and boyfriend 'unlawfully killed'

A coroner's jury has ruled that Princess Diana and boyfriend Dodi Fayed were unlawfully killed through the reckless actions of their driver and the paparazzi in 1997.

The jury had been told that a verdict of unlawful killing would mean that they believed the reckless behavior of their driver and paparazzi amounted to manslaughter. It was the most serious verdict available to them yesterday.

The couple died when their speeding car slammed into a concrete pillar while it was being chased by photographers in cars and on motorbikes.
