Probe into Diana bodyguard death

London: The British police are considering reopening an investigation into the death of Princess Diana's former police bodyguard, Barry Mannakee, — hitherto always thought to have been killed in a straightforward traffic accident — in the light of taped remarks by the princess in 1992, shown on U.S. television on Monday. The BBC reported that Sir John Stevens, the Commissioner of London's Metropolitan police, who is reinvestigating the circumstances of the princess's death in the Paris car crash in 1997 before an inquest is held next year, will now also re-examine Mannakee's death 10 years earlier. On Monday NBC TV broadcast a second extract from tapes made by the princess with her voice coach, Peter Settelen, during the period when she was separating from Prince Charles. She spoke, apparently only for private consumption, about being in love with the officer, who was removed from royal duties two years before he was killed while riding pillion on a motorcycle. She voiced her suspicion that he had been ``bumped off.''
