An Australian man is accused of torching a Ferrari once owned by Princess Diana's boyfriend Dodi Fayed. A
Melbourne man and two women were arrested on Thursday, four months
after police found the burning car, which is worth more than A$2m
($1.5m; £1m).
The vintage car was one of two Ferraris allegedly stolen from a repairer. The
women were released without charge, but the man, named by local media
as Kane Ridley, faced court charged with a string of offences including
arson.
The court heard on Friday that Mr Ridley, who was remanded in custody, was likely to suffer drug withdrawals in jail. The
vehicles were reportedly stolen in just four minutes, after the alleged
thieves rammed a roller door to enter the business in the suburb of
Braeside.
Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and band mate Nick Mason are
reportedly previous owners of the vehicle, which now belongs to a
Melbourne restaurateur.
