LONDON, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Mohamed al Fayed insisted Tuesday in London his son Dodi and Princess Diana were victims of "absolutely black and white, horrendous murder."

Speaking after the opening of the inquest into Dodi's death, the Harrods boss told the Daily Mail he was "hoping that the truth will come out."

Asked about the Daily Mirror's decision to identify Prince Charles as the person Diana believed was plotting to kill her, he said, "But I am always saying this from the beginning."

He described the death of his son as "a great tragedy ... it is very difficult for me ... a very difficult time, very emotional.

"It has been a long time, six years now and I am just fighting all the time ... a loving father who lost his son in such a horrific accident," he said.

When asked what he thought happened the night his son died, Al Fayed replied: "I already mentioned it and I am mentioning it all the time ... it is absolutely black and white, horrendous murder."
