A former MI6 agent has warned that Scotland Yard should drop their ongoing investigations in Princess Diana's supposed 'murder conspiracy', as they will never be able to find the truth behind her death.

The man in question, Richard Tomlinson, who is currently residing in France, believes that Scotland Yard will wrap up the case soon, as nothing will come out of it, the Daily Express reported.

In 2008, the Cambridge graduate, 50, had revealed that during his time with MI6, he had received training on how to use strobe lights to distract people.

And, now a former SAS soldier has claimed that the elite regiment was behind Diana's death, as the 1997 Paris car crash, which killed the princess, her beau Dodi Fayed and chauffer Henri Paul, happened when a blinding light was shone in the driver's eyes to make him lose control of the car.

Tomlinson added that while he was working for the secret service, a colleague came up with a plan to kill Serbian tyrant Slobodan Milosevic by staging a car crash in a tunnel using a strobe light.
