Dodi purchased 'engagement ring' | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
The Princess Diana inquest jury has been shown a copy of a receipt for a £11,600 "engagement ring" bought by Dodi Al Fayed hours before they died. | |
Dated 30 August 1997, the receipt from the Paris branch of jewellery store Alberto Repossi contained the words "bague fiancaille" or engagement ring. | |
The High Court heard the ring was from the "Dis-moi oui" range, which means "Tell me yes". | |
New CCTV footage of Mr Al Fayed in the store was also shown to the jury. | |
Mr Al Fayed's visit to the jewellery store happened on the same day as he and the princess died in a car crash in a Paris tunnel. | |
Jewellery selection | |
The grainy CCTV images showed Mr Al Fayed standing, surrounded by staff, and being shown several items of jewellery. | |
The jury watched Mr Al Fayed being taken to a cabinet by Mr Repossi before a selection of pieces was laid out on tables for him to inspect. | The jury watched Mr Al Fayed being taken to a cabinet by Mr Repossi before a selection of pieces was laid out on tables for him to inspect. |
