The sniper known only as "Soldier N" who sensationally claimed that the SAS helped cause the car crash that killed Princess Diana in 1997 has reportedly fled to Thailand "in fear of his life".
The soldier is said by UK paper the Daily Star to be hiding out in south-east Asia as police investigators probe claims that members of the Army helped cause the car crash that killed Diana in 1997.He claimed that special forces agents shined a light into the eyes of Diana's driver, which led to him losing control of the car and hitting a pillar in a tunnel in Paris, but he fled the country before Scotland Yard could properly examine the evidence, which was handed over by the Royal Military Police, reported the Daily Star.
Soldier N was jailed after being convicted of illegal possession of firearms, and is believed to have suffered flashbacks and paranoia typical of PTSD.
